A thriving and noisy population of California sea lions has taken over the docks at the Port of Edmonds Marina. Their boisterous barks and sun-soaked antics have turned the waterfront into a lively marine theater. #washingtonstate #sealions #wildlife #nature #photography

Nestled in Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park, the Coal Creek Falls trail is a 2.5-mile trek through towering forests and mossy ravines. The waterfall is a hidden gem, dropping 28 feet into a rocky basin. A perfect PNW adventure! #PNW #washingtonstate #waterfall #nature #outdoors #photography

Eureka Dunes and Last Chance Mountains Death Valley National Park California In the isolated northern wilderness of Death Valley, the Eureka Dunes ripple toward the Last Chance Mountains like a frozen golden sea. It is a place of profound solitude, where the earth feels surreal and timeless.

Tucked away in the remote northern corner of Death Valley National Park, the Eureka Dunes are a surreal, towering expanse of pure quartz sand. Rising nearly 700 feet above the dry lakebed, they stand as some of the highest dunes in North America. #deathvalley #desert #dunes #photography

Big Pine Road’s relentless washboarding punishes any vehicle not built for the backcountry, as the rusted relics at Crankshaft Crossing prove. The final 10-mile South Eureka spur is tougher, narrowing into deeper sand and severe corrugations near the base of the dunes. #deathvalley #backroads

Think you’ve seen all of Death Valley? Head south. At the park’s edge lies Saratoga Springs—a desert mirage. After a grueling washboard drive, you'll find a sprawling oasis of spring pools and lush marshes framed by the stark Ibex Mountains. #deathvalley #landscape #desert #photography

Darwin Falls is a rare year-round oasis in Death Valley. Fed by perennial springs, it is one of only four permanent streams in the 3-million-acre park offering a lush geological and ecological departure from the surrounding Mojave Desert #deathvalley #mojavedesert #waterfall #landscape #photography

In Death Valley, the 1881 Harmony Borax Works turned "White Gold" into a global commodity. Iconic 20-mule teams hauled borax through extreme heat—a testament to human grit in one of Earth’s hottest places. This site fueled industries from laundry soap to ceramics. #deathvalley #astrophotography

Keane Wonder Mine in Death Valley was a major gold producer, yielding over $1.1M total. From 1907-11, it earned up to $682k. By 1912, depleted ore and a tramway cable break forced its closure. It remains one of the park’s most successful and technologically unique mines. #deathvalley #goldmine

Found the perfect spot during the Death Valley superbloom! Located between mile markers 25–27 on Badwater Road. 📸: 3/16/2026. #deathvalley #superbloom #wildflowers #desert #photography

The 2026 Death Valley superbloom—the first of its magnitude since 2016—triggered a massive emergence of White-Lined Sphinx Moth caterpillars. A key part of the desert's "boom and bust" cycle, these caterpillars appear in huge numbers to capitalize on the sudden abundance of food. #deathvalley

Step back to 1907 at Death Valley’s Lost Burro Mine. Legend says Bert Shively found gold when he threw a rock at his runaway burro! Tucked in the Cottonwood Mountains, it’s remarkably preserved; the mill and cabin look like they were abandoned just yesterday. #deathvalley #mininghistory #adventure

The silence here is profound. Standing on the Racetrack Playa, you find a quiet so deep it’s deafening. You search for sound, but it’s just you and the tracks of stones that move only when no one is watching. A spiritual pilgrimage to the backcountry of Death Valley. #deathvalley #photography

Ubehebe Crater, Death Valley 🌋 2,100 years ago, a steam explosion created this 600ft-deep "maar." To the Timbisha Shoshone, it is Tempinna Ah-ka-voo-it (Coyote’s Basket)—a sacred ancestral site and the place where their people first emerged into the world. #deathvalley #landscape #photography

Walking through the shallow waters of Lake Manly was an almost meditative experience. It’s a rare gift to see this lake once, let alone twice in two and a half years. #deathvalley #lakemanly #sunset #nationalpark

Last Monday at Lake Manly was nothing short of ethereal. Shifting focus from yesterday’s northward view, this perspective looks southwest, where the sky and the ephemeral waters blur into one. Two different directions, the same breathtaking glow #sunset #landscape #lakemanly #reflection #photography
