Camping is permitted almost anywhere in Death Valley, unlike most US National Parks where camping is allowed in designated areas only. This is where we camped the first night. There are official campgrounds in Death Valley if you want to be close to lots of people and motor homes with generators running
Here is a photo of of "Badwater", the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere. Telescope Peak is in the background. Its summit is over 11,000 feet.
This lava formation is near Badwater.
This is Ubehebe Crater, near Scotty's Castle, another sign of volcanic activity in the area.
This is a view of the rim of Ubehebe Crater. With people in view, it gives some sense of the size of the crater.
Here is one of Jim, checking out the road marker at Teakettle Junction. People hang teakettles there for unknown reasons. This point is reached over 20 miles of road, most of which is not as good as what you see in this picture.
The sign at Teakettle Junction points to the "Racetrack" which is a dry lake bed. A rock outcropping within it is called the "Grandstand". This is the place where rocks move across the lake bed because of undetermined forces.
This was our campsite for the 3rd night, near another abandoned mine.
This is the famed "Scotty's Castle".
These are some of Death Valley's less fancy accomodations.
This a view of Death Valley from the mountains at its Northwest end..
