The highs as well as the lows. Take it all in good stride. Sometimes, when you need to break away from the city life & urban grind, you find the warm California deserts calling your name. This is North Mojave Desert terrain, harsh as can be. The region will make your ears ring - it's so quiet! Plus all the time & sky & stars to ponder your life, breathe again, sigh again.
Don't plan on seeing all this vast beauty in one trip. Total Escape frequents this place almost annually & haven't even seen it all - yet. We met Xterra Ken way out there near Saline Hot Springs. Sand dunes, stargazing, castles & craters, palm oasis hikes, abandon mines, stone cabins, off roading, & hot springs, plus so much more. Plan on spending a week or more, with 4x4 back routes - if your time is of leisure.
description: Death Valley Park - the name alone intrigues us. This entire desert region is so beautiful & vast, a few days in an automobile tour hardly does it justice. Plan on spending as much time as possible here. Plan your days around a few activities in one region, make a loop & book lodging accordingly. Don't end up driving across the whole park twice, in 2-3 days, or you'll miss the real landscapes.
