Since we had gone to bed fairly early the night before, it didn't seem too painful when the alarm clock went off the next morning. There was no way I was missing a sunrise in the desert! Since the Mesquite Flat Dunes are only a few minutes from Stovepipe Wells, we decided to head over to check them out.
It was just starting to get light when we got there, so we walked out a bit onto the dunes.
We eventually came to a spot that seemed to have a view of everything, and I set up my camera. Thank goodness for gloves...it was COLD. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait very long for things to get good. :)
I, of course, took a billion pictures.
One big sunbeam was slowly making its way down the mountains as the sun rose higher...
...then all at once, the light hit the dunes.
I just don't have words. It was gorgeous.
We stayed for a while longer and just enjoyed the view, then eventually made our way back to the car.
