Breathtaking view that must have been.

It seems that all the views of DV are great views Ash, a must visit for all one day.

The conversion makes that shot spectacular.

I liked the color version also Trev, but in b/w it seems to be more interesting to view.

Great effect Bob. It really does look "out of this world".

Dante's View is about 17 miles off the main Hwy 190 going into the park from the east, but worth the sidetrip especially if you have a clear day. Thanks Grant.

Totally awesome shot Bob! Is that a road below?

yes Tess, that is Badwater Road, a two lane paved highway.

I wouldn't doubt if there were episodes filmed here Charlie.
It is very eerie at night, I can tell you that.

Great image, Bob! I spent a couple days hiking there with my son 2 years ago...fascinating landscape.

thanks so much for commenting, I bet that hike will be remembered for years, very interesting topography for sure.

It certainly isn't Iceland.

We are down in the Palm Springs/Indio area for the winter but will return to DV in the spring to view the wildflowers, I just hope they get the correct amount of rain there.
