🦔Valley of Fire 🔥 Death Valley Trip

 We went on a nice  trip  to Valley of fire and Death valley.  We left home early morning the 29th of November and came home the afternoon of the 9th of December.  


We drove a total of 946 miles pulling the 5th wheel. We also drove alot in the  Parks .



The weather  at  valley of fire  was mostly sunny with some clouds in the morning. It was mostly in the high 50's to the low 60's there. 



The weather at death valley was mostly sunny  with some clouds. However it was warmer there around the mid to high 60's

My top five things from the trip are :

 * The 7 wonders and Fire wave loop trail -      valley of fire

* Dante's peak/ sunset full moon walk - Death valley

* Zabiskies to Gold Canyon day hike - Death Valley

* Viewing the sunrise and full moon setting at Zabriskies - Death Valley 

* Climbing all the rocks - Valley of Fire



My favorite things about the trip was :

* all the hiking

* being with my family

* staying up late around the fire with Dad

* eating the prickly pear salt water taffy

I learned what a atlatl rock is. Do you know what it is????

We earned two Junior Ranger badges.  One for each park. To earn your  badge you must complete a work book, turn it in and get sworn in by a ranger . I like doing  these because the books are fun and educational and because it's fun to collect the badges and remember all the places we have gone.

We had an amazing trip and I love traveling 😍

🔥🦔The Seven Wonders and Fire Wave Loop🔥

Image
Hey, JJ here we are at Valley of Fire State Park. We have been here for almost a week. I am going to tell you about a really cool trail that we did . It was the 7 wounders and fire wave loop trail. It's 2.3 miles long It  was really cool.  Just a little ways down the trail there was a really cool wave of color on the rock. The colors were white, red, purple, and a lot more. Then we arrived at some small slot canyons . We did poses where our hands are on one side and our feet are on the other side. I was on top SP was under me MJ was under him and ET was on the ground. Farther down the trail there is the fire wave. It is all red with white  stripes. I didnt like it as much as the first wave because it didnt have as many colors.(see picture)   I thought the trail was really fun, I would definitely do it again.  JJ

🦔Dantes Peak & Zabriskies Point

Dantes peak sunset Have you ever watched the sunset before? Have you ever watched the full moon rise before? What about at the same time? We were lucky enough to do this.  The sun set Dantes Peak On our Last trip to Death Valley we did a hike called Dantes peak to see the  sunset and the full moon rise.  Sun set - Bad Water's below First off we had to drive up as high as we could. The road was pretty steep at a 15% grade. Once we made it to the top and parked, we walked all around to see the different views. We saw some really cool views of Bad Water's salt flats. Than we hiked up the mountain to the highest peak to find a spot to watch the sunset. The salt flats look so big from where we were. We found the perfect spot overlooking the flats . I found the perfect rock to sit on to watch the sunset in the West and the full moon rise in the East.The sunset was so pretty. It was really neat to watch the last rays of the sun set. We thought it would be dark after the sun went...
