8 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD VISIT DEATH VALLEY
I was fortunate enough to meet up with a geologist, who does all of his work in Death Valley, and I learned a lot about this beautiful and ALIVE dessert.
California
1. Its Badwater basin is the lowest point of elevation in North America! It is even the largest national park in the United States.
2. There isn't any cell service, so take the family and enjoy a technology free vacation.
3. Parts of STAR WARS were filmed in Death Valley. Yes, I had a major fangirl moment:)
4. Watching the sun rise on top of the Mesquite sand dunes.....is magical.
5. It is full of Geology! It has salt formations, alluvial fans, basin and ranges and much more.
6. There is an area called Artist's Palette which is a must see. These rocks get its colors by the oxidation of metals.
7. You get to walk around a HUGE crater. (Ubehebe Crater)
8. Last but not least, it has a mystery. The mystery of the racing rocks. There are boulders that move across flat lands only leaving a trail. Nobody has seen any of the rocks move and geologist have still not come up with a solution on why it is happening.
