Alicia and I got the great idea to visit Death Valley for the holidays. Seemed like the perfect time to visit the lowest, driest and hottest place in the US.

We thought it would be warmer than home during the day but nowhere near the scorching 120F of the summer days. And we were right!

People told us it would be cold at night but we thought it should be manageable and even maybe enjoyable. And we were wrong!

Still, we enjoyed many of the sights and we had a great time exploring.

Definitely worth another trip. Maybe during the late Spring or early Fall though.
