| Old hills in the Panamint Range. |

| View across Death Valley due east from Mahogany Flats at sunset. |
 |
| View at sunset, southeast to the end of Death Valley. Mahogany Flats elevation 8,133' is at the end of a long, steep, snowy, rutted, single lane dirt road. From here there is a 7 (?) mile trail to the top of Telescope Peak, 11,049'. By this time it was 7 PM we didn't go. |
 |
| Charcoal kilns on the way down from Mahogany Flats. The charcoal was transported and used to smelt ore. |
 |
| They were allegedly designed by a Swiss engineer, built by Chinese laborers and refurbished by Navajo stone masons about 90 years later. They were only used for a couple of years then the ore ran out. |
 |
| If you race down the west side of a large mountain you can see lots of things at sunset. Glorious light on these things. Sarah said the acoustics were great inside them. |
