Artists Drive is another highlight, a scenic route that winds through open canyons, showcasing a palette of vibrant colors in the astonishing rock formations. And, of course, no visit to Death Valley would be complete without exploring the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, where the rolling dunes seem to stretch endlessly, providing a stunning backdrop for desert photography.
