One of our day trips to Dantes View, in Death Valley. Dantes View was several hundred feet high and overlooked Death Valley mountains. The mountains change continuously. The huge block of earth crust that is slowly tilting away. Its fard edge is the rising crest of the Panamint Range mountains under they are moving to the left as well as rising. The eroding mountains fill the valley at the same rate it sinks. This fault block basis we call Death Valley has no outlet to the sea minerals washed down from the mountains are there to stay. Quite a view!!!
