Travel Series with Jackie May 2021

National Parks offer Extraordinary Experiences but it's not always possible to visit so we are doing the next best thing.

Take a virtual tour with us through Zoom. See the Glory, Hear Nature Sound, Discuss the Journey.

Early explorers dismissed it as a barren wasteland with no merit — a place to be avoided. It’s own name denotes a foreboding place that might not be on the top of the list for many tourists.
In several ways, Death Valley is an anomaly as far as national parks go. It’s far and away different from the picturesque mountain vistas and stately trees of the northern counterparts in its state, Yosemite and Sequoia.

Death Valley is truly a land of extremes. It is home to the lowest spot in North America, and 16 miles away Telescope Peak rises 11,043 feet above seal level. It is also the place where the hottest temperature on earth (134 degrees Fahrenheit) was recorded in 1913.

Come learn about hidden scenic gems in Death Valley, meet
its wildlife and history and see if you can fall under its spell.
