Death Valley
Death Valley is bleak and frightening, it is the hottest, lowest place on earth. Settlers were trapped here in 1849 after thinking they had found a short-cut to the West coast. Only one person died. The air
temperature averages 120F and the ground can reach boiling point. The land falls to 282ft. below sea level.
The valley is barren and harsh. There are huge sand dunes in the Western end of the valley.
Of course we took the bear!
