They drove back home on the third day (10/6) directly from Death Valley through same route they drove to Death Valley. This is the east slope of Sierra Mountains taken on 10/6 coming out of Death Valley. There are no tree but rocks only, quite different from west slope which has so many giant trees. They are all higher than 9,000 ft (3,000m) at least and you can still see snows at the top in spite it is the end of dry season expecting new snow very soon.
