First time seeing water in Badwater Basin 🧂💧 Beautiful, and arrestingly different to previous trips. Lots of little tributaries and colours to explore with your eyes
At dawn, Zabriskie Point in Death Valley captivates with fleeting beauty, a respite from its title as the hottest place on Earth. The sun transforms the surreal badlands before temperatures hit a record 134°F (56.7°C), creating a striking contrast with the scorching daytime heat. Nature's awe, indeed.

Summit 360 view from Mount Perry, 5709 feet high… which means it is 5991 feet above Badwater. 😉
The guy in the video is Brian from Berkeley, a trail acquaintance. Our hiking pace was quite compatible so we dragged each other along on this “uphill both ways” hike. Longest 9 miles I ever hiked, I swear…
Badwater Basin salt flats in Death Valley. The lowest point in North America is 282 feet (86 meters) below sea level. On July 9, 2021 a world record high temperature of 130 degrees F (54.4 C) was recorded at the aptly named Furnace Creek, nudging out the previous high of 129.9, August 16, 2020 also at Furnace Creek.
