Death Valley National Park

The drive to Death Valley is long and it’s amazing how much of the land out here is desert.  We were careful to have plenty of gas and water…and we were glad!

The campground….well, it is a desert.  No shade or structures at all.

This is the lowest point in North America, 282 feet below sea level.

Here’s a close up of the salt on the valley floor…

The late afternoon light up the landscape beautifully.  Such an interesting area…unlike any place I’ve ever been.
