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.
I'd heard of Darwin Falls in Death Valley but never been there on previous visits so decided this was the time.
I must have been standing on a dune ridge, possibly the one behind the camp, to get this shot I've titled, 'Calanscio Sunset'.
