Oak Hills to Death Valley

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Mileage: somewhere around 200 to 250

Hi there! I came back to California for the holidays and we’re gonna have some adventures around the Southland. First stop is my absolute favorite National Park, Death Valley. I have been twice before but this is moms first time and she’s already blown away with the very little we’ve seen so far.

We made it!
We are very happy at being bad at selfies!
Tortoise crossing!
First stop was this failed mine
Silly ugly mountains. So hard to look at these.
Geology nerd alert! 🚨 Alluvial Fan! Fan shaped deposits at the end of a canyon.
They had a good storm here about a week ago so there’s some water in what used to be Lake Manly.
In the red circle is a sign that reads “SEA LEVEL”. We arrived at Badwater at 282 feet below.

The valley floor!
Salty water!
WE LOVE VISITOR CENTERS SO MUCH!!!!
Fries and secret adult grape juice in the mugs while we wait for the restaurant to open for dinner.

Mom loves a jackalope. They are real. Believe us.

We have another two days here and will have more to post tomorrow.
