Death Valley National Park: A Land of Extremes
Hottest, Driest, Lowest: A superlative desert of streaming sand dunes, snow-capped mountains, multicolored rock layers, water-fluted canyons and 3 million acres of wilderness. Home to the Timbisha Shoshone people and to plants and animals unique to the harshest desert.

Here is our Death Valley experience in mixed up order. This was our second stop on our way to Utah for Spring Break. We could have spent a couple more days here. So I guess that means we will be coming back. It is such a great place for the kids to explore, hike & climb. I don't know how many miles we ended up hiking but it was pure pleasure, even Lauren was having fun.
Our Natural Bridge Canyon Hike
The Painter's Palate (Mountains with such beautiful colors. These pictures don't do it justice)
I can't remember what this hike was called but it was a couple miles long.
Badwater Basin is 282 feet below sea level. The salt flats - It looked like snow, was crunchier than snow and had some unique textures.
About two inches above our heads is a sign that marks the sea level.
