Sunrise at Eureeka Dunes

I slept overnight to be able to see the sunrise at Eureka dunes in Death Valley National Park. They're some of the highest dunes in the entire county, so that look of drained energy while hiking up the dune was real...and totally worth the effort with the sunrise on the dunes in the background.
