Update: Thursday Oct 18th

After Yosemite, we traveled to Death Valley National Park. Upon arriving we hiked out to the mesquite sand dunes and spent the night looking at the stars. This has to be one of the best experiences we've had on this trip! We awoke in the morning in the heart of Death Valley and a few of us traveled to Ubehebe Crater, a large volcanic crater 600 ft deep and half a mile wide. Then, after meeting up with the rest of the group, we traveled across the valley and observed the many alluvial fans in this area. We stopped at Devil’s Golf Course, a vast plain of salt concretions, and then headed to Bad Water Basin, the lowest place in the western hemisphere (282 ft below sea level). Before ending the night in Mesquite, NV, we drove up to Dante’s View. This spot provided amazing views of Death Valley from 5000ft high.

This morning we’re going to Zion National Park to rappel into the canyon to experience Zion up close!
