Video: Drive Through Death Valley


Death Valley is home to a fantastic array of great hiking and driving options—its salt flats, badlands, and dramatically eroded canyons are not to be missed. The ancient sandstone, exposed by wind and weather, glows orange, yellow, and gold in the desert sun. Here, check out a lovely video on a lonely drive through death valley. Wait until the end for a beautiful sunset—thanks to YouTube user chasgti.
