Death Valley in Winter. A Digital Photography by
FeaturePics.
|
Scotty's Castle is named after Walter Scott. Some
say Walter made big money making promises about gold mines that didn't exist.
One of his victims was Albert Johnson, a treasurer for the National Life
Insurance Company of Chicago. Johnson came to Death Valley to take a look at
the mystery gold mine on a personal tour of Death Valley, and decided it would
be a nice place to live, so he began construction on the ranch.
But most likely Scotty was a talented storyteller....
His grave sits at the top of a hill and you can read excellent words there.
I got 4 things to live by:
Don't say nothing that will hurt anybody.
Don't give advice -- nobody will take it anyway.
Don't complain.
Don't explain.

| Mesquite Sand Dunes offer good photographic
opportunities either at sunrise or sunset. The origin of sand dunes is very
complex. We have found an explanation how ripples and dunes form at Death Valley geology field trip, read it, but still
wondering how wind can produce so beautiful "Sinuous" sculptures of sand...

Salt Creek flows on the north of Furnace Creek.
There is a species of fish, pupfish, found nowhere else in the world. We
couldn't take a picture of this fish because they are active only in the early
spring. In winter time they sleep in the mud at the bottom of the creek. In
spring when the water warms, Pupfish begin their mating ritual. The breeding
males become iridescent blue in color and defend their territory, chasing away
all other fish except females that are ready to spawn.
The largest pupfish, this two-inch-long leviathan can live in waters from a
frigid 40° F up to a scalding 112° F. It can endure the lowest levels of oxygen
of any fish species, and a range of salinity from no-salt to twice the salt
concentration of seawater. Science Now

Ubehebe Crater was formed as a result of a rising
column of molten basalt coming into contact with the overlying water-soaked
bedrock. The result was that the water was almost instantaneously turned into
steam, and a violent release of steam-powered energy blasted away the confining
rock above. The first of the Ubehebe crater about 600 feet deep was born 3,000
years ago.
We are not geologists and it would be better if you read about the largest and
youngest volcanic feature at
Death Valley geology field trip
