Death Valley Winter Vacation


Death Valley is a great playground. At this age kids can't stop running. This is approaching DV from Trona.

We pulled off early in the morning and found this guy. I don't believe I've seen one since.

The primo playground at Death Valley is of course the Stovepipe Wells dunes.

When you finally get your fill of all that sand (it can all be washed off at the showers/pool) it's time to move on to Zabriskie Point.

Don't put that salt in your mouth, boy. There's not enough to go around.

It takes a bit of time but eventually you find where the best adventures are to be had.

This side canyons have these dry falls that are a real challenge to climb. But climb you must because another canyon lies beyond.

The Huebejebee Crator. Everyone shoots the main one next to the parking lot but this one's far more attractive. These are all scanned from 4X6 prints so the sharpness just isn't there,
