Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes

Mesquite Flat is one area of sand dunes in Death Valley National Park. There are four others, but this is the only area of dunes that is easily accessible, lying along the main road near Stovepipe Wells and with a parking area from which one can walk into the dunes. Most of the other areas require a four-wheel drive vehicle or a long hike. The mountains in the background are the Amarcosa Range.
