I’ve only recently finished posting my photos from our annual Thanksgiving trip to Death Valley. It’s kind of fun going all the way back to November to relive this trip, always my favorite of the year! Part 1: Alabama Hills, Andrews Peak, Papoose Flat, Hidden Dunes and Eureka Valley We hit the road on Friday night [...]

I don’t have a lot to say about Thanksgiving day in terms of exploration, but I can’t go without mentioning the incredible food and friendship that we find in the most remote of locations every year. This was our fourth year in Death Valley with friends and each year it gets better and better. We [...]
It’s that time of year again, time for me to play desert rat for a week. Thanksgiving is a great time to head to the desert. Temperatures are mild to cold and crowds are generally light (except on the freeways). As usual, we hopped into the car on the Friday before Thanksgiving and headed south, [...]
