DEATH VALLEY DAYS #1:

We've spent the past couple weekends in Death Valley National Park. When we visit one of our incredible national parks, we try to absorb as much of the place as possible, often exploring areas most tourists don't make it to. Late Sunday afternoon we drove through 'Twenty-Mule-Team Canyon', for the good lighting & late-day shadows -- it was well worth the time & effort; the scenery is spectacular. This canyon celebrates the twenty-mule-team ore wagons that were used to transport Borax from mines in the Park.
