Salt Flats

Upon leaving Las Vegas, our first stop in Death Valley was at the salt flats of Badwater Basin.  As you can see from the photo above, we were at the lowest point in North America at 232 feet below sea level.   Just to the west is Telescope Peak which is the highest point in the park at 11,043 feet.  You can see its snowy top in some of the photos below. 





Before checking into tour hotel, we hiked a relatively easy trail in Natural Bridge Canyon. 


Checking into the Ranch at Death Valley, which is located at an oasis, and is delightfully green!
