Travel Tuesday - Death Valley National Park

May, 2015


We took a family/business trip to Las Vegas. We took a day and drove to Death Valley National Park. We did not realize just how big that park is! We spent the day in the south maybe 1/3 of the park. There is SO much more for us to see there. Maybe another time.




The scenery is mountain/desert but beautiful nonetheless. It was HOT-they are totally NOT kidding when they say make sure your gas tank is full and you bring plenty of water! It was early May and by 11 a.m. it was 103F.

At Zabinske Point:



We drove the Artist's Palette loop - the photos do no justice to the colors in this area.



We stopped at an overlook on the loop to take a few pictures.


Badwater Basin - low and hot!




A couple more views on our way out of the park toward Las Vegas.


Until next time...

  2. I had no idea Death Valley was so beautiful. Those lookout points are amazing. Wish we had visited when we were on the West Coast!
