We drove into Death Valley from the town of Big Pine. We crossed over the Inyo Mountains in our bus. We weren’t sure if we could make it over the narrow dirt roads and the next gas station was 133 miles away!

This is the biggest place I’ve ever seen. Giant valleys and mountain ranges. We spent the first night camping on some sand dunes. At sunrise, Daddy and I climbed to the top of the highest one. It is 700 feet tall. We saw a lot of animal tracks in the sand. We saw 3 different kinds of lizards.

Elliott was bad and good.
