Leadfield – Death Valley
In it's heyday, Leadfield had a population of about 300. Its heyday lasted less than a year as it was built on a fraud.

Today's photo is the view to the North-West from Red Pass on the Titus Canyon Road (though perhaps that should really be the tight-ass canyon road!).
But as I turned onto the Beatty Road I suspected there might be an image looking West as the rays of sunlight crept over Tucki Mountain.
There's a 4.2 mile trail from the Charcoal Kilns that leads up above Wildrose Canyon to Wildrose Peak, a climb of 2,200 feet.
These Charcoal Kilns are actually in Wildrose Canyon which is on the western side of the Panamint Range that itself forms the western edge of Death Valley proper.
Today's photos is from Cottonball Basin, Death Valley, California. It's a shot I took around sunset while visiting the valley recently.
