Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes A vast expanse of desert

Translated into English: Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, while not comparable to the Sahara Desert in Africa, are still worth a visit for those who haven't been to the Sahara Desert and want to see sand dunes.

💦Covering an area of 14 square miles, these sprawling sand dunes are the easiest to reach by car within Death Valley National Park, right next to Highway 190, making them highly conspicuous. There is a sand dune parking lot by the roadside, which provides direct access to the dunes.

💦The reason they are called sand dunes instead of a desert is because their actual size is not large enough. The sand dunes near the parking lot are marked with numerous footprints, so our goal at the time was to keep walking east until the footprints of tourists disappeared. The journey was much longer than we had imagined, but the landscapes became more beautiful and majestic the further we went. Footprints of animals can be observed on the sand dunes, while legumes create a unique ecological environment in the sandy areas. After walking for about an hour and climbing a huge sand dune, a breathtaking sight unfolded before our eyes—a true desert scene with a golden hue under the setting sun. Finally, we experienced the feeling of being in National Geographic. At that moment, all the hardships felt completely worthwhile.
