[quote=CA renter]If you can manage it, try going to Death Valley as part of a geological field trip. You learn to appreciate everything in a whole new light. Very, very cool stuff there.
Did you tent camp, or what?
BTW, how did you like your camping trip in El Capitan last year?[/quote]
We did some geo stuff, and I agree even a little geo knowledge goes a long way. In fact, that’s when the kids had the most fun – checking out the lava flows and things like that.
Personally I was looking for tarantulas – I have never seen one in the wild, but I did see plenty of what I thought were Tarantula burrows.
We stayed in a hotel outside of the park (Pahrump).
El Capitan: I’ve read mixed reviews (oil on the beach), but I thought it was a great park. We tent camped there, in a TT I could stay a week easily.
