View from "Zabriskie Point" in the Funeral Range
Death Valley National Monument, California
An awe-inspiring view from Zabriskie Point.  Telescope Peak, 11045 feet above Death Valley, over 300 feet below sea level.  The greatest contrast in altitudes in America-- Perhaps in the world.
note: today, Telescope Peak is listed at 11,0043 feet, and Death Valley at -282 feet.
