"Mosaic Canyon, Death Valley, California" So much of the time Death Valley, and yes it is hot, very, very HOT, is portrayed by the salt pans and sand dunes that are so predominant there. But there is another side, and I wanted to portray one of those less seen elements.
The day I was there, mid April, it was already well above 100 degrees before 10:00 in the morning, and truthfully I could not wait to drive out of the valley, and up to Lone Pine where it was much cooler. This short little canyon gave at least a little relief from the intense heat of the below sea level, desert floor.

Nathan, nice image challenging to setup a 4x5 at least in April you shouldn't have had many other people up there.
Otherwise I hear you all the way. All though you are missing a lot of the park heading all the way to Lone Pine to escape the heat. I heard some years from Badwater on the 4th of July you can still see snow on Telescope Peak (11000 ft / 3352 m).
