Corkscrew Peak in last light, under luminous clouds.

There’s an unmarked 4×4 road across from Mesquite Sandunes that climbs up to “Grotto Canyon”. If you stop at the powerlines, you have a sweeping view of the dunes and the mountains beyond, as well as the Panamint range to the west.

In this shot, we’re looking roughly north by north-east, with Corkscrew peak just right of center, and Mesquite Dunes in the foreground.
