Day 3: Pupfish to badlands





The day started with a sunrise hike to some dunes just outside of Tecopa off of Furnace Creek Road. The ground was soft and the winds heavy, with peak gusts of 21mph. After the hike, the few of us that went returned to SHEAR where we had breakfast and got ready to visit Ash Meadows. We went to the Devil's Hole and Point of Rocks and the visitor center. We then drove to Badwater Basin and wandered around the dunes of Zabriske Point while the sun set behind the golden mountains in the distance.

Day 2: Amargosa (and more)

Image
 Ethan Bentley (Biology and Recreation major) writes- Today we explored a valley around the Amargosa River. Several of us paused repeatedly on the trail to collect rocks that formed on dried-up river beds, as well as take pictures of various sights and wildlife. After that, we came back to the date ranch for lunch and capped off the day by heading into the park itself to view the sunset. Michayla Winkelman (Ecological Restoration major) shares- We meandered our way through the Amargosa River Valley today. Many colorful rocks were discovered (some climbed). A quiet moment was briefly enjoyed in a cool canyon before heading back to China Ranch Date Farm for lunch and some delicious date shakes. Saikat writes- The day ended with some exploration off the trails in the desert and a spectacular sunset.

Day 6- 7: Finale

Image
  Christopher Wang (Human Health and the Environment major) writes- Our final day began with some roadrunner hospitality. Then we left our lodging at Shoshone, and went to the Tecopa Hot Springs where some of us chose to relax in the warm, muddy waters. After the warm soak, we made a final trip to the China Date Ranch for some date shakes. We continued on to say farewell to Death Valley Park. After encountering a roadside coyote near Furnace Creek, we traversed the sandy dunes (formally called Mesquite sand dunes)- rolling down the steep dunes in laughter till sunset. The night was spent visiting the remains of what was once a borax mine before departing for our final flight back to Albany.  Thus concluded our adventure of Death Valley. Onward to Spring semester.
