Sunset at Dante's View in Death Valley National Park is something that should not be missed when visiting the park. The viewpoint is on the east of the valley in the Funeral Mountains of the Amargosa Range and is named for Dante Alighieri, the author of The Divine Comedy and with his "Inferno" in mind. The photo looks to the north over Badwater Playa.

Several evenings in Death Valley National Park we watched the sunset from Dante's View on the east side of the park in the Funeral Mountains of the Amargosa Range. The viewpoint, high above the valley, is named after Dante Alighieri, the author of The Divine Comedy, probably with his "Inferno" in mind. This photo looks southwest from the viewpoint.

Please note that these are the last photos I'll be posting for several weeks. We will be away to Utah and southern California, visiting some of the Utah parks and Death Valley. I'll not be on Ipernity at all during that time. I've posted these photos from a 2021 trip to Death Valley with my wife, as a reminder of where we'll be. The photo was taken at Dante's View in the Amargosa Range on the east side of Death Valley. The view is to the northwest over Badwater and up the valley. We'll be there again if all goes as planned the last week in February with our oldest daughter whom we will be picking up in Las Vegas before going on to Death Valley.

Taken from Dante's View on the east side of Death Valley National Park, the photo looks out over Badwater, the lowest point in North America, to the Panamint Mountains on the west side of the valley. At the lower edge of Badwater the walkway out to the lowest point can be seen.

From Golden Canyon on the east side of Death Valley we drove to Badwater, the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level. We did not stop there - too many people for our liking - but did stop along the way to photograph these amazingly colored hills.
