- Death
Valley -
- Although Death Valley is in California, it's right on the
California-Nevada border, closer to Las Vegas than to Los Angeles.
Apart from the unexpected
snowcapped mountains of winter, it's a lonely and arid place
pockmarked with suspicious looking mounds and crackling salt
flats, crisscrossed by crevassed earth and powdered with relentless
sand dunes. This is where Scorcese men, wearing lightweight suits,
gold pinkie rings and dark sunglasses, talk serious business
while turkey buzzards make allegorical circles overhead.
- Death
Valley National Park -
- Named features on maps of Death Valley include the Funeral
Mountains, Coffin Peak, Hell's Gate, Starvation Canyon and Dead

traversed, inhabited and mined the region during the end of the
last century.
