We spent today at Death Valley National Park in California. I was really pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the park is. I don't remember seeing any pictures of Death Valley that weren't of the desert and not really pretty at all. It truly is beautiful and it seems that each mountain range has a totally different look to it. Death Valley is the hottest, driest and lowest place in North America. We travelled through elevations of 190 feet BELOW sea level to over 3,000 feet ABOVE sea level and the temperatures changed accordingly.

Another beautiful mountain view
I thought this formation was very
different and interesting
One of the "20 Mule Team" trains
that carried borax from Death Valley
to the neighboring town
Another gorgeous vista
This is Ubehebe Crater which
was formed 2,000 years ago.
It's 1/2 mile wide and over
500' deep.
Sunset glowing on the mountains
Huge moon rising over the mountains
