…and enjoyed a beautiful sunset on their patio. We’re off tomorrow morning. It’s been grand.
A few comments about food and accommodations in Death Valley. You don’t have a lot of choices. There is camping in giant RV lots, some smaller spots, and some ‘hike ins’.
And then there is 1) Furnace Creek Inn (expensive and lovely with an upscale restaurant but not on the scale of the great National Park lodges), 2) Furnace Creek Ranch (nice enough motel style rooms and a cute little compound of restaurants, general store, pool, museum, etc.), 3) Stovepipe Wells (similar amenities as Furnace Creek Ranch but much less charming), and 4) Panamint Springs Resort (very out of the way and not much to speak of). Really, besides for some general store style food at Scotty’s Castle, that’s it.
So don’t expect much in terms of amenities, just relish in the glory of the vast landscape. You won’t be sorry you went.
