I don’t normally do book reviews, they remind me of book reports in school which inevitably leads me to hum “A book report on Peter Rabbit” over and over for days. (If you’ve never seen/heard the musical You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown you are missing out.) So what could possibly change my mind and get me jazzed enough to hum for weeks? Why Death Valley of course!
Death Valley is the largest National Park in the lower 48 covering more than 3 million acres, just under 4,700 square miles. It is the hottest, driest and lowest point in the United States. With such a vast area and extreme climate it is easy for visitors to become overwhelmed and miss out on photographic opportunities. Every person who visits Death Valley takes photos of Badwater, the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes and the view from Zabriskie Point but did you know there is a waterfall in Death Valley? Do you know what time of year the endangered pupfish are most easily seen? Do you know how to dance with a chuckwalla?
