Death Valley, Furnace Creek Area

Wayne, Judy, Ches and I spent a very pleasant day driving around and looking at the scenery of Death Valley. The diversity of terrain is amazing and some of the views spectacular.



Zabriskie Point
A short walk uphill and has a fantastic view, it is a very popular spot







Badwater is the lowest point in North America, is 282 feet below sea level. Badwater Basin is a surreal landscape of vast salt flats, you can walk a long way on dry salt.





Artist's Palette has rock of all different colors that looks like an artist's palette


Natural Bridge this is supposed to be a 1/2 mile walk but it seemed a lot longer, and is steep and rough walking, not really worth the walk. The bridge was interesting and there is a place where there used to be a waterfall. The view is great.
