We are spending four days in vegas soon . and renting a car .. my plan is to leave . .quite early .. take the scenic drive.. to shoshone . down the hill
into the badwater area .. =. try to see some of the saltflats . and devils golfcourse as well as some ghost towns.. however . I am still a little uncertain .. when it comes to just how long of a drive this is .. as we are staying in Vegas .. any idea of how long a round trip is ... and the time involved .. ? any tips ?? thanks steve
@Scuzzoe I would say take a whole day or more. Death Valley is deceptively huge. I would recommend going in through Death Valley Junction on CA 190 and then head north towards Furnace Creek. From there you can go down to Badwater, then back towards Furnace Creek, up to the Stovepipe Wells area then exit over the Funeral Mountains towards Beatty, NV, which is about 2 hours north of Vegas. If you exit through Beatty, be sure to stop by the ghost town of Rhyolite. It's really cool! Have fun!
i ran through this valley in 2006 with dean karnezes,i went for a full 26.2 miles killer !!! hard time running but dean and the crew are top notch!!!drank 4gallons of water salt sugar solution!!
Im taking a geology field trip out there in march...I have to pick 6-8 stops and write a 15 page report/guided tour. This video helped me choose some places......Im excited to see death valley. Thank you
@narutochaos3 you just have to be there. No pictures and videos will justify the beauty that piece of desert can offer. It can offer incredible views, specialy during sunrise or sunset. The colors make you feel like you are on another planet.
Enjoy it! It's a great, fascinating place. I've been back since this vidoe was made and will probably go back again. I have yet to post the videos from my latest trip though. What you hear at 3:55 is the song "Stroke of Luck" by Garbage from their "Garbage" album.
Cool, you'll love it! I'm actually returning in October with a friend after hitting Yosemite (and Bodie too of course)and Owens Valley first. I think we're going to make out to the Racetrack Playa this time.
