The Big Trip - Day 19 - UFO Hunting and Death Valley

Driving through a sudden snowstorm on US Route 50








The Extraterrestrial Highway (Nevada State Route 375) - adjacent to Area 51!









The Little Ale'inn in Rachel, Nevada along the Extraterrestrial Highway






:O Aliens!


Weird dust tornadoes



Rhyolite Ghost Town just outside Death Valley












Death Valley


Driving down to the valley floor





A very pleasant 82F today!







Driving along the valley floor





Badwater Basin - the lowest point in North America




Out on the salt flats






Sea level sign


Check out the sign now...


At Furnace Creek Ranch in the valley


Who knew that Death Valley had palm trees?!




Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes







A coyote along the road



Climbing back out of the valley (-282 feet to 4,900 feet in only a few miles)
