Jim and Joan visit Death Valley California with friends Jerry Thompson and Kim Dickey.


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.


While Death Valley comprises more than 3.3 million acres of spectacular desert scenery the following photos were taken within 20 miles of our cabin at Furnace Creek. No doubt we'll be back to visit more later.
