Sightseeing

Today was spent exploring some of the sights we visited before…just to refresh our memory. Death Valley really is a stark place with a moon-like feel..if we knew what the moon looked and felt like!

We went to see Devil’s Golf Course with its crystallized salt dunes. This place is what originally drew us to Death Valley…we thought it was an actual golf course!

We tried to get up close to Artist’s Palette but we think that the road to it has change since the flood a few years back. Even so, we did give Gord a pretty good tour of the beautiful rock colours.

We stopped to see an abandoned and restored Borax Mine, but I think the one at the Ranch is better. This one did give us a good idea of how the mules hauled the borax to towns hours away.

The most impressive stop of the day was at Zabriski’s Point with its impressive rock formations and hikes.
