Surprise! You can get very high (in elevation) an Surprise!  You can get very high (in elevation) and very cold in Death Valley!

Though the name suggests a low elevation, the park includes some very elevated points!  These can get quite chilly (see the snow in the second slide?), so it's important to bring a jacket with you (desert nights can also get cold fast, especially in February).

But the chill is worth the spectacular views of the valley far below! (swipe to watch the video pan!)

Where are some of your favorite views in the world?

Which part of trip planning takes you the longest? Which part of trip planning takes you the longest?

Years ago, we used to take more than a year to plan a two-week trip.  Sure, we weren't constantly planning, but we started more than a year in advance - booking flights, organizing activities, figuring out logistics, and tweaking to make everything perfect.

Now, we not only take far less to plan, but we travel for much longer than we used to.  When we left for our round-the-world, we really only planned a rough high-level route and our first stop before departing.  The rest we figured out as we went!

Plan only the things that need a reservation or that you really care most about.
Expect that not everything will go to plan anyway, so be flexible!
Look for ways to maximize your money there so you can travel longer on less.

Travel planning can be fast and even fun!

I'm always fascinated by the fact that even in such an inhospitable environment, so much still grows!  And when things die, they're preserved in the most beautiful forms!
