Ya Death Valley Is epic, Me and my late wife went hear every year. Almost 30 years of trips. We hiked 19 different canyons,Some with ropes and repelling. climbed 12 peaks And have been in every corner. From north to south. What is crazy is there is still stuff on the list!! Most of it is not for the average visiter.But so much here is! Just start at your comfort level and remember its a BIG Place! Tell someone were you are going! Help could be a long way off.Dont rely on cell phones! Pro tip fill up your gas every tine you can! Just did my first solo trip. climbed tin MT.a sad but epic day!!
I had no idea that Death Valley was so big and had so much. In my ignorance I thought it was just a really hot small valley in Southern California! It's amazing. Thanks for sharing! Peggy in Tucson
I lived in DV for about a year, really great experience, need to go back but dang it gets hot, 125° f by 10AM, 4wd and Load E tires are absolute necessitys for the best experience
Very interesting. Are the rangers able to maintain the castle with the area closed? The sky must be beautiful at night. Is there any flowering vegetation? Love my armchair visit after seeing that snake 😊
There is a consrvancy working onbthe castle and it's contents; for example, the organ is being refurbished. Unfortunately, the original garage, being used as a cafetria and gift shop caught on fire during the renovation and burned down.
Hello Good Folks. Thanks for this calm, informative video. Some real insights, especially how the dynamic weather will always be altering the desert. In my view, too many TH-cam channels are poorly informed and shallow when sharing "tips" on hiking, camping, offroading etc. It's almost as if they don't write an outline and just start talking when the camera comes on. 😂 (This sounds snarkier than I intended. Sorry.) I've been lucky enough to kick around wide areas of Death Valley since the 1990s. But as you advise, prepare before showing up. It's a dynamic place. Two favorite but "remote" spots: Ibex Dunes (way down in the SE corner) and the Geologist Cabin near Striped Butte (SW corner) - visited by the tragic German family in the summer of 1996. Best to All and get on out there. 🫵

My answer too. Best place ever, anywhere.
But, let's keep it a secret so that it stays wonderful.

Good for you. Glad y'all got to do so much. It is an AWESOME place.
Hello from Alaska my friends, 9 degrees here, I would love some warm sunshine 🌞
Sending some priority mail tomorrow. Alaska is amazing too.
30+ trips for myself. All via Motorbike with Rented Jeeps when I got there. It is truly amazing.
Don't stop now!
@@UnclassicRoadTrip-hj5pv Don't plan on it. Figure will spread my ashes there :)
@@jp-johnson-writer We stumbled across an Urn on one of our adventures there. Guess they felt the same way you do.

I only showed a fraction of what is out there.
My dad's been "airplane camping" at Furnace Creek. Cool video!
I wanna ride with Dad to Furnace Creek.

I'm sure it is well taken care of. It required a lot of work also. The night sky is awesome. Most of the year something is blooming out there.

@@Helo_rides_for_commies This is taking way too long.
That’s awesome!
The pupFish caught your attention, right?

Ha that's so awesome. DV is my favorite place too. I've been all over it over the course of many many visits.
The place is habit forming.LOL
Not closed.
Too bad some really good parts are closed. And a lot of roads.
