Spring Time in Saline Valley, March 2008 |
I spent four days in the Saline Valley in March 2008. The weather was as good as it gets. Lows were in the 50s, the highs were about 90. The wind was nearly nonexistent until the last afternoon.

The Saline Valley is home to a great deal of military jet training and testing. I photographed several Super Hornets and Fighting Falcons during my stay.

You can buy a 2012 Calendar featuring my photographs of the Saline and Panamint Valleys.
A dozen photos of the Saline and Panamint Valleys. The Saline Valley is a remote and beautiful part of Death Valley National Park. The primitive roads and utter lack of services make it one of the least visited parts of the park. I strongly recommend 4-wheel-drive, high-clearance vehicles to get there. We get a flat tire on nearly every trip. The Saline Valley is bounded on the west by the Inyo Mountains with peaks reaching over 11,000 feet. The bottom of the valley floor is at an elevation two miles below the peaks of the Inyos. The lowest pass out of the valley is almost 4,000 feet higher than the almost dry lakebed.
