Death Valley 2022
Day 0

Day 0 was the meet up day. The whole group was arriving from different areas, 2 from Arizona and the rest from all over Colorado. Since it was such a long day we figured we would meet up right outside of Las Vegas, so we could get an early jump on getting in Death Valley on Day 1

The trip started with a 13 hour drive for me!

Saw this cool lifted Rav4 though

The traffic outside of was unreal. I did not expect this much traffic, we ended up having to detour through a small town due to the highway closure

Death Valley 2022
Day 1

Day 1 was a pretty easy day. Mostly just dirt desert roads, hit up Bad Water Basin and some of the other tourist traps.

The crew is ready to go!

Death Valley 2022
Day 4

On this day we hit the Dunes and Steele Pass. Steele Pass was definitely an adventure. Unfortunately most of the shots taken were video, so I will have to edit them all together. When I do it will be posted here.

Steele Pass. We ended up having to winch the Colorado out when he got his awning hung up on the canyon wall.

I had to winch my raptor up the middle obstacle at steele pass back in April. We camped at the warm springs. Great area so pretty out there!

It isn't an easy obstacle for sure! Pretty technical. All of DV is so pretty. I enjoyed my entire trip.

Day 5

This was a relatively short day. We hit Star Wars Canyon and then Trona Pinnacles . Trona was an absolute crap show. So freaking windy there!

Just hit up Death Valley myself about a month ago. Love it out there! Great pics!

 

[Oscar Mike Gulf Yankee]

Fantastic photos, thank you! Gotta ask, what kind of camera are you using, lens, etc. that doesn't look like a camera phone pic!
