Death Valley was beautiful and the pictures don't do justice to how these mountains make you feel when you are right beneath them. They are fantastic! 
Weather was super and the sun was shinning!  It was a pretty long drive but we got to stop along the way to take pictures out in the road and in the desert. We found a crusty couch and had to make a stop. Perfect picture opportunity. You don't come across that everyday.

We saw a coyote standing in the road near salt water basin. In fact, we almost hit it with the car because it blended in so well against the white salty lake beds in the background.
The salt crystals at bad water actually made the lake bed look like an ice skating rink.  It was in fact, very hot actually. It was weird because it was only about 80 degrees but it felt like it was 120. I thought for a second that I smelt myself cooking...

Anyways, Vegas and Death Valley defiantly go down in the books for one of my most memorable trips.
