A day in Death Valley March 19, 2024

 Death Valley Return Big Desert of the Bovine   A big cow in the middle of the desert. What more do you want? Dante's Peak This is the Mos Eisley overlook from the Star Wars film. I did a comparison for your viewing pleasure.  *Star Wars is the property of Lucasfilm/Disney. No profit is intended. Just for informational puporses.* Ubehebe Crater.    This was a long drive here and I ended just snagging a few shots. If I had more time, I would had hiked the perimeter. Badwater Basin A lake formed here due to a recent storm. Was so nice to see a lake in the middle of the nowhere. You can see the lake from Dante's view. Lake Manly I believe they call it. God really works in mysterious ways.  Natural Bridge Trail Super easy trail. You be there in 5-10 mins no time. You can explore a little further from what I did. End of day: Yep, returned to my BNB in Las Vegas. Was really hot this day but I thank Jesus he was with me that day. Later folks. 

The National Parks I've been to in one year!

Well, I'm just staying put in Hawaii for now. Until then enjoy the parks that I've been to from March 2022 to March 2023. I didn't take some of the signages nor did I upload some. Laters. April- Hawaii Volcanoes National Park  May- Yellowstone National Park and Grand Canyon National Park July 2022 August 2022 (I just drove by Yellowstone to get a pic, I didn't enter this time) November/December 2022 Feb 2023

One and a half day in Death Valley.

  Welcome back folks and here was my quick trip to DV. I touched down at Las Vegas, Nevada and did my stay at Pahrump during 2/26-28 while I did my DV trips on 2/27 and half a day on the 28th.  If you want to save time, try to rent a hotel in the park though that depends on your budget. Coming from Pahrump, where I stayed, will take you at least an hour. Without delay, here was my itinerary.  2/27 Sunrise at Zabriskie Point This is a famous spot for people to do sunrise/sunset photos. It's recommended pretty much by the internet community that this is the spot to start or end your day. I had to pretty much leave Pahrump around 540AM that day to get here (one hr drive roughly). Lots of photographers already doing their stuff. Twenty Mule Team Canyon drive I was at this spot to locate the Return of the Jedi filming scenes. It's a one way road btw so you are going to have to find spots to pull off on the side and find the iconic spots. I did not see one person here so enjoy....

Star Wars in Death Valley visit 2023

 Something I did for fun. Thank you to all the SW fans who made their blogs and videos to make all this possible for me to find. Dante's View was flooded at this point so I was un-able to see the Mos Eisley overlook. Anyhow, enjoy. Star Wars Death Valley in 2023. Dates in DV: Feb 27-28. Property of Lucasfilm/Disney. Pics are used only for informational purposes. Screencaps were done using Powerdvd 21 and editing with Ifranview.  Desolation Canyon Golden Canyon Artist Palette Twenty Mule Canyon (1st pic Return of the Jedi deleted scene) Mesquite Sand Dunes That's it for now. Thank Jesus for another safe trip. Hopefully, I can make my return to DV one day and finish a couple more hikes and visit Dante's View. Thank you for visiting.
