Death Valley National Park
Mesquite Dunes, Death Valley National Park, CA
Last year a 25 year old man died by the attempt to climb the big dune during summer (!!!) time. At one point his girlfriend turned around and gave him all her remaining water supplies. She went back to wait at the car.
Two hours later without having heard anything from her boyfriend she asked the rangers for help. They immediately started a huge rescue action and finally found him alive within the dunes. He died in the plane on the way to the hospital in Las Vegas, his body was already drained out too much…
