The Eureka Valley Sand Dunes are California's tallest sand dunes, and one of the tallest in the United States. Rising 680' above the floor of the Eureka Valley, the Eureka sand dunes are home to several endangered species, as well as "singing sand" that makes strange sounds when it shifts. Located in the remote northern portion of Death Valley National Park, the Eureka Dunes see very few visitors. Image ID: 25274 Location: Eureka Dunes, Death Valley National Park, California, USA |

| Sunrise at Zabriskie Point, Manly Beacon is lit by the morning sun while dark clouds lie on the horizon. Image ID: 25257 Location: Zabriskie Point, Death Valley National Park, California, USA | A sliding rock of the Racetrack Playa. The sliding rocks, or sailing stones, move across the mud flats of the Racetrack Playa, leaving trails behind in the mud. The explanation for their movement is not known with certainty, but many believe wind pushes the rocks over wet and perhaps icy mud in winter.
