Death Valley

After recovering from my experiences in Las Vegas, we proceeded west to Death Valley, the lowest and (occasionally) hottest place in the United States.

First, we visited the lowest spot in the park, Badwater Basin. The floor of this basin is 282 feet (85.5 meters) below sea level.

Proceeding northwest through the park, I was intrigued by the different varieties of terrain found throughout the park.

However, we couldn’t stay too long. After all, it was the middle of summer, and quite a bit warm out there!
