And, I thought it was
HOT in Las Vegas because it got up to 78 degrees! It was over
100 degrees in Death Valley National Park yesterday! This park is vast and harsh, but it is also
beautiful - it is truly a land of extremes. There is a lot to see: magnificent sand dunes, colorful rock formations (particularly on the Artists Drive), and beautiful salt flats, to name a few. There are 3 million acres of wilderness here and it is home to plants and animals unique to the harshest desert. Unfortunately, I only had one day to spend here so I could not possibly see all of it. Tho I whined about the heat, I really enjoyed visiting this national park!

A beautiful, scenic drive from Las Vegas to Death Valley!

Yeah, right, who's going to sit on that bench in this 100-degree heat?
