Trip East - Death Valley - Day 1

This is our trip back East from Tucson but since we've never been to Death Valley we had decided to go here before going East.  With all the rains around, we were hoping for a Superbloom.

We arrive in a drizzle of rain














We get settled in to our spot at Furnace Creek


Not a bad view


Only here for 2 days and the rain has stopped so we get going.

We drive to Dantes View.  First we do a drive through 20 Mule Team Canyon











What a beautiful drive,   

We get to Dantes View and the view is awesome, but it is very windy and very cold







I decide to walk out over the next bluff for the view


The view is spectacular


Then another bluff

and another bluff





view to other side
 



It is super windy and cold so I stop here and don't continue on down






I am frozen and Gary asks if I want to still stop at Zabriskie Point.  I say maybe save it for another day.  But when we go by it is sunny and much warmer down here to we stop and hike up



You feel like you are on the Moon








You can hike as far out or as high up as you want to go



Not a bad 1st day.  Can't wait to explore more tomorrow!
