Death Valley today. No real adventures, just driving all over this huge National Park trying to take in as much as possible. It was a beautiful day, but cold not hot. The warmest it got anywhere today was about 60 degrees, although I did get a bit of a sunburn. The picture above is of Badwater Springs, the lowest point in North America at 288 ft below sea level.
Most of the park is rocky with sparse dormant little bushes, but there was one spot with honest to goodness sand dunes that you could just walk around on. Climbing up shifting sand dunes, just like in the movies. Cool!
But way back in the side canyons there was fresh water. This is Darwin Falls, at the end of about a mile of deep, narrow ravine.Tomorrow I'm going to do some more hikes in Death Valley and then head down to the Mojave national Monument.
