    Death Valley

    We've got reservations for the Furnace Creek campground so we'll be dragging the trailer up there next week for a couple of days.

    I haven't been there in 30 years and just plan to see Dante's View and the natural bridge canyon trail. Is there anything else that we should go out of our way to see?

    Thanks,
    Frank

      Devils Golf course is also very interesting....

      ZABRIESKE Point: make sure you watch the sunrise! It was quite magical to me and made me reflect on life with great depth....

            I don't know what you're driving, but Titus Canyon is a nice drive.
            Any stock 4x4 SUV can do it.

              Is Scotty's Castle open yet? If so, definitely worth the trip and tour.

              Artist Drive, Titus Canyon, Rhyolite, Darwin Falls, the Charcoal Kilns are all great to visit. The dunes in the morning are amazing.

                Telescope peak is a nice stop.

                    I did a waterfall tour there once. Get a topo map and look for springs. Then follow the contour lines until you find a steep decent. Enter the GPS coordinate waypoints in your phone. I ended up finding three or four that day with interesting hikes along the way.
                    Have dinner at the resort. I recommend the Venison with blueberry sauce.

                      Rhyolite and Goldwell, then Titus Canyon coming back

                      Head east on 374 out of the park to see Rhyolite and Goldwell, and if you have a 4x4 take the Titus Canyon road back into the park - really interesting drive.

                        Titus Canyon, it's not to be missed. BTW just about any SUV/SAV won't have any issues.

                            The Artist's Pallet drive is scenic and relatively short, best seen in late afternoon so colors don't wash out. Distances between locations are large. Gas at Stovepipe Wells is a dollar cheaper than Furnace Creek. Even cheaper in Beatty Nv. if you go over to do Titus.
