The Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley National Park are a large, accessible dune field near Stovepipe Wells that features rippling sands rising up to about 100 feet and includes crescent, linear, and star-shaped formations shaped by wind and geography. They’re named for the hardy mesquite trees that grow among the sands and are especially dramatic at sunrise and sunset when shadows accentuate the curves and textures of the dunes. Wildlife adapted to this harsh environment lives here, and the dunes are popular for exploration, photography, and stargazing under Death Valley’s dark night skies.
