Apparently the park rangers get freaked out by geological paraphernalia and think we're going to dismantle the canyons wholesale, or something.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03079852628674185384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211670216140060946.post-69560292368724385582012-02-16T15:32:33.255-08:002012-02-16T15:32:33.255-08:00We live 3 hours from Death Valley and we have visi...We live 3 hours from Death Valley and we have visited there frequently. We also enjoy the geologic diversity of Death Valley and, best of all, you can see it because of the lack of vegetation.<br /><br />When looking for young volcanic features, be sure to check out Split Cinder Cone found at the southern end of Badwater Road near Ashford Mill. It is literally split in half by the strike-slip Death Valley fault zone showing the direction of travel on both sides.<br /><br />Enjoy your trip!<br /><br />Cliff Bandringa<br />http://BackRoadsWest.com <br />Trip blog: http://www.backroadswest.com/tripsCliff Bandringahttp://www.backroadswest.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211670216140060946.post-5638283308410372732012-02-16T11:51:19.088-08:002012-02-16T11:51:19.088-08:00I have visited Death Valley 3 times now..I love it...I have visited Death Valley 3 times now..I love it there...It's secluded and Peaceful(if you love being alone and are not afraid of your thoughts :D)<br /><br />I am sure you are going to have a fun time there...<br /><br />PS- I think there is no cellphone reception there.. so i am not sure if you will be able to find internet.Purvi Shah Macwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484035002875819673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211670216140060946.post-63887619249386534312012-02-16T09:51:04.412-08:002012-02-16T09:51:04.412-08:00Have a great time.
