You step out of the van and the air is a different animal — cool up on the ridge at Dante’s View, thin and clean enough to sharpen the horizon. The valley spreads below like a map written in salt and shadow: Badwater Basin’s white flats sitting 282 feet below sea level, the Panamint Range rising like a wall, and the last sun catching colors at Artist’s Palette. The guide points, you breathe, and the day rearranges itself into a handful of scenes worth remembering.
