Death Valley, 88 feet below sea level, travel west coast

Death Valley or Death Valley, is the deepest point of the United States, is mid 100 feet (100 feet = 87 meters) below sea level in the desert of Mojave and Sonora. It lies between the state of Nevada (Las Vegas) and California ( Los Angeles - San Francisco ). We went through Death Valley on our road trip or trip to the U.S. west coast . We had to make a detour from Sequoia National Park to Las Vegas , but it's worth it.

The most characteristic flora of the Mojave Desert is the Joshua Tree and Joshua Tree . The Mojave Desert occupies parts of California, southwestern Utah, Nevada and Arizona. His nombrte Mojave tribe comes from the American Indian. It occupies an area of 57,000 km2. The boundaries of this desert are generally defined by the presence of Joshua trees and yuccas. So inside the Death Valley just do not see these trees or this or no vegetation but if you have the opportunity to see many the arrival or departure of this great pot that is the desert of Death Valley .

For the record count that as Americans are so exaggerated, buy all the water that guides advised us to travel down the west coast and even more. It was impossible berber throughout the entire trip or really what gets in a wide few hours. With 5 liters if a puncture tuvierasmos is more than enough if we move through the main roads. Something very different is if we dare to cross the desert in depth where it is best to ignore the guidelines ... we bought enough to turn the desert into an oasis, arrived at the Hotel Casino Luxor (the pyramid of CSI Las Vegas) Las Vegas and we even stayed to get to Los Angeles. Even smile to imagine the faces of the cleansing of this great casino to see that by not using the water we used mini bottles of 5 liters ... Spanish ...

Passing through death valley on our trip we could not avoid to photograph the traffic signal from the lowest point of the United States. And of course take pictures with their arid and dry soils
