As we descended into Death Valley from the Sierras
a few years back, client Ken Miller reflected that
the word "surreal" is overused. "But,
in this place, it's completely appropriate,"
he continued. Ken can be seen below, reflected in
the impossibly shallow Badwater Basin lake that forms
after the rare rainstorms that fall in Death Valley
The downward-pressing geological forces and extreme
arid conditions that have made Death Valley the lowest
point in the Western Hemisphere, give Death Valley
a stunning and unearthly landscape that belies its
unfortunate name. While temperatures that routinely
reach over 120° F (50° C) limit summer visitors
to those willing to endure the heat, Death Valley
is a must-see for anyone interested in the beauty
of Nature's extremes during the during the fall, winter
and spring.
