Sand Dunes – It's just a few short steps from
the road to these fantastic sand dunes. You can spend hours jumping, sliding
and rolling down the dunes, tossing fine white sand in the air, or tracing
lines in the cracked white mud. Take off your shoes and wiggle your toes
in the sand. Fun for everyone, from the littlest babies in backpacks to
teenagers, who can hike to the biggest "star dune." Be sure to
bring plenty of water with you. |

Salt Creek Nature Trail – If you come in winter or spring,
stop off at Salt Creek to look for the pupfish. These tiny silvery blue
fish, less than two inches long, are a rarity. Thousands of years ago,
when the Ice Age lake in Death Valley dried up, the water became salty
and many species of fish died off. Not the pupfish. They adapted to the
saltier water and extreme temperatures. |
