Death Valley is a photographer's paradise, with excellent opportunities to photograph diverse geological anomalies, color palettes, starry skies, wide open spaces, and more!
Join Mike Basher on an amazing trip to the seemingly endless sprawl of Death Valley. We visit volcanic moonscapes, winding sand dunes, salt pans, and jagged peaks as we wind our way from our rendezvous in Viva Las Vegas! The landscape of Death Valley is heavily photographed, but rewards the photographer with a keen eye for texture and form. We will visit areas of the park rarely frequented by tourist groups, which will open your eyes to the splendor of Death Valley.
