This Fall we're heading back out west. COVID will be in our thoughts as we plan for adventures while we stay safe! Our plans are to head first to Colorado, then zip over to Utah. Lots of hiking and biking are planned along our route.

Death Valley National Park -- INCREDIBLE !!

For us, a week in one place, is a long time; but not here at Death Valley NP. 
We came back to Furnace Creek campground after ten years, and were pleased with the improvements including paved level sites and full hookups.  Expecting cold temperatures, we took the hookups so we would stay toasty warm.  Turns out the temps have been ideal and in fact later in the week the thermometer may hit 78 degrees.
We came to meet up with our good friends,
Gail & Dan, and together hike till our boots fall off., and we did!  Dan has been terrific with the hikes he's chosen everyday.  From Golden Canyon to Zabriskie Point, Darwin Falls, Desolation Canyon, Mosaic Canyon, and more to trek before the end of this week.
 

The canyons, the mountains, the rocks, the washes, and all of this incredible landscape were on the hike list. 

We even hiked to a natural spring that gushed water here in the desert.



Rock scrambling has been one of the highlights; especially thinking about how we would get back down. (It's always easier going up than down?)
All in a days hike.
