Day 218 - Mon 2 Mar 2020 - Death Valley part two


It is still a bit windy today, but we have to work our way to San Francisco for our next pet sit by the end of the week. We head back through Death Valley to do a few more sites and walks. Once we're in the park we drop the trailer at a car park and make our way up a steep and windy road to Dante's Peak. At 1669 meters high it provides a commanding view over Death Valley and on to the Panamint Range in the distance.


We also see an enormous volcanic crater, nearly 800 m wide and 200 m deep.


The park is huge so it's another day with lots of kilometers. We find a spot for the night just outside the park near the Trona Pinnacles so we can explore those first thing tomorrow.

Today: 443km - 6h45m
Total: 26,239km - 511h29m
