With amazing peaks and valleys, there is so much more to this colorful giant desert landscape than just the 282 feet below sea level elevation. Explore one of our favorite trips to Death Valley from below sea level to 9000 ft altitude. The snowy mountains in no-mans land lead us through an icy trail to a beautiful view of Death Valley.

Weekend getaway to Joshua Tree National Park and a hop over to Mt. San Jacinto. Only a half hour drive from the Desert to Pine trees and Snow.

City Centers, morning markets, night bazaars, Wats, delicious Thai food, wonderful people, new friends, the North and South, waterfalls and crystal beaches.

This was our first time out of the country "together", leaving the USA behind. We drove for hours, enjoyed every moment of sandstorms, crimson sunsets, home made tacos, late night rain on our open tent, sandy grilled shrimp, off-roading and the liberating feeling of walking barefoot in the sandy roads of El Golfo de Santa Clara, Mexico. Enjoy our experience as you visit our blog.

The most peaceful tranquil trip we did on the West Coast of USA. Slept and watched movies in the Jeep parked on moonstone beach, spent the full day in old town Cambria, and stopped in at least 4 beach villages along the way home... will be exploring more West Coast beaches before leaving this country...
