Death Valley - The last and best look

I'm on vacation in the USA! Back in my home country, surrounded by family, traveling in their RV. Here's some pics and a video from visiting Death Valley.

Topographantastic!

19th century charcoal kilns, preserved very well in the extremely arid and remote hills above Death Valley

In the distance, the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada. Amongst them is My Whitney, the highest point in the continental USA, a stone's throw away from Death Valley, the lowest point in North America

Enjoy the video. I liked how this one turned out.
