Telescope Peak with Hanupah Canyon alluvial fan in Death Valley National Park, Inyo County, California

Hanupah Canyon alluvial fan with Telescope Peak (elevation 11049 feet; 3368 m) in the Panamint Range rises above the Badwater Basin playa (below sea level) in Death Valley National Park (Inyo County). Light-colored channels indicated the location of stream channels that only drain to the valley floor during episodic storms. Some of these stream discharge events are in association with debris flows or debris floods that discharge materials onto the alluvial fan. This view is looking west from Dantes Peak in the Black Mountains on the east side of Death Valley. Death Valley's dry lake bed (with salt flats) are in the foreground.
