Southern Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, at a passage through Split Mountain, where we've stopped at an anticline (an inverted U, just behind the jeep) of sandstone layers.	Death Valley, from Dante's View, elevation 5475 feet. The tripod comes in handy for shots like this.

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park near Borrego Mountain, in a ravine known as "The Slot" -- passing underneath the giant chockstone wedged above definitely gave us pause!	Death Valley, in Titus Canyon. From the heart of Death Valley take Highway 374 east into Nevada toward the ghost town of Rhyolite and locate the marked one-way-only jeep trail that descends into the canyon and emerges back in Death Valley. It's about a twenty-mile drive through the canyon. Here, some giant slabs of rock that were heaved upwards by volcanic forces.
