Trip Report: Death Valley - March 21-28, 2009



Trip Report is pending on this trip but the itinerary is below and we have nearly 1200 pictures from the 8 day Expedition uploaded to our Photo Gallery.   Use the link at the bottom of this page.

Death Valley : A Land of Extremes ! A perfect trip to follow up on the heels of our annual Devils Highway trip.

Hottest, Driest, Lowest: A superlative desert of streaming sand dunes, snow-capped mountains, multicolored rock layers, water-fluted canyons and three million acres of stone wilderness. Home to the Timbisha Shoshone and to plants and animals unique to the harshest deserts. A place of legend and a place of trial. Death Valley.

At the height of the California Goldrush a group of pioneers decided, against the warning of their wagon master, to take a "shortcut" across the unknown deserts of the West. This fatal misjudgement would give us one of our greatest stories of trial and heroism, and it would give us the name Death Valley.

All trails were suitable for stock Jeeps, well pretty much suitable.
