Suzanne's Travel Adventures: Death Valley National Park

For some reason I thought a place called Death Valley would not be very pretty or fun to go to. Boy was I wrong! Death Valley National Park was a beautiful mix of sand dunes, mountains, and incredible landscapes that has extreme changes in temperature from snow at the higher elevations the night before I got there to having the record hottest temperature in the United States of 134 degrees in Badwater Basin. Being here in January was nice because the temperatures were less extreme although my car thermometer went from 36 degrees in the morning up to 68 degrees in the afternoon and quickly dropping again as the sun began to set. I visited several spots in the park including the Sand Dunes, Zabriskie Point- a must see if you are coming to the park, the Devil's Golf Course, Badwater Basin, and did some hiking through Golden Canyon. Each place had it's own unique qualities to it even though they were only a few quick miles from each other. I feel like this is a post where I don't need to write much because the pictures speak for themselves. Amazing.
