Death Valley Super Bloom 2016

When I used to think of Death Valley I imagined a flat desert with tall cactus’s and skeletons strewn about.  Clearly I had no idea what this area was all about.  When you drive to Death Valley from Vegas you immediately come across Zabriskie Point - a totally beautiful landscape!  Really it’s stunning.  Apparently there’s a cult move shot there called, wait for it, Zabriskie Point.  It’s now on my must see list and after you watch the trailer you’ll know why.  Here are some pics!

From Zabriskie Point we decided to hit Badwater Basin.  On our way we got some of the best glimpses of the Super Bloom!  It was pretty great.

Badwater Basin is super cool.  The salt looks like snow, it’s really barren and stark and that’s a landscape I’m all about. Here’s my hubby on the flats.

We also hiked to the Red Cathedral.  This hike is worth it for the final vista.  It’s a glorious view. From there we checked out the Artist’s Palette, the colorful rocks are weird, we just drove the loop (pic below).

We just barely scratched the surface of this national park. I already want to go back.  As we drove out we were treated to more of the super bloom.  Who isn’t charmed by wild flowers?!  They were really special but honestly they weren’t the best thing about Death Valley.  It’s not that they weren’t pretty and unusual (they were both) but the rest of the park is so goddamn impressive it’s hard for them to compete.
