The Twist and Turns of the Trinity Highway 299

 The Trinity Hwy is a twisty, turny road for sure. This was the second time we had traveled this road so we knew what we were getting into and we knew that we wanted to split it up with a stop in the middle. We hit the road with no reservations, but hopes of finding a place close to the middle. 

This is how we came across Del Loma Campground. But, first I guess I should say that we did stop at some random place "google" said was a Campground. It was not, and they recommended for us to continue up to Del Loma Campground, so when we saw it mom jumped out and ran in. 


Once we were checked in, found a site, minimally set up ( we were only staying one night ) and ate lunch we were ready to explore. It was very hot out after being in Klamath all week so we wanted water. We could see the Trinity from our campsite and there was a trail to the beach right below us. So we grabbed a few things and headed down. 

The River was so clear and really not that cold we ran right in. After playing for a while we spotted 2 deer up the river from us but they ran off quickly. We also saw lots of turtles on logs. They always jumped off before we could get close enough to them. Mom and Dad found a fun little rock for us all to jump off of, it was a lot of fun. We think it was about 6 feet from the water. Even Dad and Everest Jumped off.   


After playing at the river we decided to go explore the campground. We found that they had a rec-room, mini golf, a soccer field, and even a pool. We turned on the yard sprinkler and played soccer with Dad. ET played around with the mini golf stuff with Mom. Then we all went and swam in the pool, until we called it a night. 


It was a super short stop but so much fun.

🔥🦔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...
