Wild Mountain: road tripping

road tripping

Badlands National Park [click on image to enlarge]

We're heading off to visit Death Valley National Park. It's our first visit despite growing up in California and living back in California for the past eight years. A quick trip this time (one day) but it looks like the weather is going to work out for us. The snow has let up in the Sierra and it's only going to be in the 80s in Death Valley.

Bookzilla said...: That looks like an incredible view. So jealous! I grew up in Texas in an area that's really flat, so I'm a little obsessed with mountains.

Alyce said...: That is a great photo! I can't believe it's normal to say "only 80." It sounds like the perfect time to go though. Hopefully I'll get a chance someday when it's not scorching hot.; April 14, 2012 at 9:52 PM
