Before to cross the border to Canada later today, here is still an update from the US. 😀
 
After visiting the Pinnacles, we went East of the Sierra Nevada. We stopped at the Alabama Hills, nice site just next to Lone Pine.
 
 
1. Contrasts with the snowy Sierras…
 

 
 
2. Mobius Arch.
 

 
 
3. Valley near Lone Pine.
 

 
 
4. Tiny plant growing in the sand.
 

 
 
5. VivaLaVida on the Hunter Mountain trail.
 

 
 
6. We’re now in the Death Valley National Park but in more remote places…
 

 
 
7. Wonderful altitude desert…
 

 
 
8. Photo stop at Tea Pot Junction. Unfortunately we forgot to bring a teapot… 🙁
 

 
 
9. Arrival at Racetrack after several hours of stony track and with a leaden sky..!
 

 
 
10. Racetrack, this unique site where rocks move leaving traces without anyone being able to date to explain the phenomenon. Some assumptions, such as high winds on a wet and therefore slippery surface, seem plausible…
 

 
 
11. Interwoven traces…
 

 
 
12. We camped on the site of a disused mine just a few miles away to return to Racetrack in the morning hoping for a better light.
 

 
 
13. And it is the sun that welcomes us!
 

 
 
14. VivaLaVida seems so small..!
 

 
 
15. Light highlights the tracks.
 

 
 
16. Don’t they look like they are racing..? 😀
 

 
 
17. We then borrow the Linpintcott Road, a little-used track to join the Saline Valley.
 

 
 
18. Cactus flower.
 

 
 
19. Another “hairy” flower…
 

 
 
20. Exposed portion of the Linpincott Road. Some passages were quite narrow but Vivalavida managed to crawl through.
 

 
 
Stay tuned for more to come soon in Saline Valley… 😉
