Death Valley is just a magnificent place. If you ever get a chance to go visit you really must go and visit for it’s such a beautiful. We decided to go since my friend who had come on this family trip with us had never gone and while me and my family had been several times before we just had to take her since it’s a place you have to see at least once in your life. If you are ever going to visit California you really must take some time from your vacation and visit. While it’s name Death Valley there is really so much life and beauty it’s so poorly named.
This post is mostly scenery and no people since we were all so tired and looked like crap. This is the view from Dante’s Peak, no not that Dante’s Peak.
Here we are at Badwater.
I think i found the droids that those storm troopers were looking for. At least one of them. There was randomly a paper mache R2D2 in the middle of Badwater, had to take pictures.
Close up of the salt at Badwater.
GIANT BUG OH NO! We were gonna squish him but then my dad said when you they emit a terrible smell so then we just let him be, since we didn’t want to smell.
some amazing mountains and the colors were just spectacular
The middle of the road leaving Death Valley for the night
The next day right before we headed to the Devil’s Racetrack.
Huge Crater from some volcano if i’m correct
beautful sky, the air was so fresh and clean as well. Felt good after breathing in so much smoke from Vegas.
The road to the Devil’s Race Track is really rough so we have to take a suv or truck that’s a 4×4 so we took my dad’s car for this road trip.
Teakettle Junction, people hang teakettles, and also leave interesting things for other motorist, someone left a bottle of Fix-A Flat.
Rocks at the Devil’s Race Track, it’s called Devil’s Race Track cause the rocks move, not that they move right in front of you but you can see that there are trails that show the rock’s movement.
It’s not exactly sure why they move but this is the ground up close
seriously just an amazing place
I just wish we had more time there for i would have loved to take much more pictures and see many more places. There just wasn’t enough time to see everything in less than 24hours that we were there. Have you ever gone? Do you plan to visit one day? I really suggest you do since it’s so amazingly beautiful.

Ok. So here’s the plan. We go back. Park at a campsite, pitch a tent. Go hiking everywhere. Stay a few days. Relax. Definitely want to go back.

@WTFwasTHAT:
no problem, too pretty to keep all to myself

you really should go to the national parks in your states! I’ve been to Joshua Tree, Death Valley, Yosemite, and Sequoia national park. all amazing and all worth a trip
@Rin:

@phossil:
it was kinda cold wind but it gets super hot in the summer and can get up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit

nice pictures by the way, I really liked them.

Been there.. 4 times I think? My favorite is the sand dunes in the center/western side as you first come in from the mountains. Sand dunes/sliding all over them on boards ftw!!! Sadly half the times I’ve been there have been for science projects lol… I’m smart I go to college 8D. Nice pics tho, I used to know why the rocks moved but I forgot haha
5:49 pm on February 25th, 2009 11

5:56 pm on February 25th, 2009 12
@Blowfish:

@Karen:

@Casey:
something about the ground gets wet and freezes and the wind gets so rough it pushes the rocks or something

Hello.
When it comes because there was a photograph seeing the comment on dannychoo.
Are you a photographer?
Scenery is fairly different from Japan.
The main in the photograph in Japan is the four seasons.
It is also in my article.

The four seasons of Japan is how in foreign countries?Please comment.

@ceasol:
death valley is truly an amazing place
@nakagawaichiro:
yes i’d like to consider myself a photographer yet still amateur in my abilities compared to many other, i’m still learning but hope to become a professional one day.
your pictures are breathtaking, where i am located we don’t get the typical 4 seasons, we get hot and kinda cold. we don’t get the nice changing colors of the leaves. But if we do want to see this kinda of weather isn’t not hard to drive to the mountains to see them

Those are some really nice pictures actually. It reminds me that there’s more incentive to go to California than the anime cons and meetups.
