Oasis-like palm trees in the otherwise barren Death Valley National Park, on the grounds of the famous "Scotty's Castle" prohibition-era winter home in the Grapevine Mountains in the far-northern reaches of the park

Title, date, and keywords provided by the photographer.
An anomalous attraction in Death Valley, it is removed from most of the park in its far-northern reaches near the Nevada border. Death Valley Ranch, as this elegant home is properly known, is a window into the life and times of the Roaring 1920s and Depression '30s. It was built in the early 1920s by Chicago millionaire Albert Mussey Johnson as a vacation getaway.
