Artist's Palette, though the pictures don't do justice to the beauty of the colors
The Devil's Golf Course, full of strange, rough salt deposits
Mesquite Sand Dunes, where the dunes are high and the sunset gorgeous
Zabriskie Point, where borax was once mined
Manly Beacon, named after a man named Manly who didn't get lost because of the beacon
Salt Creek, salty, hot home to a species of pup fish
and Badwater, the lowest point in the hemisphere (282 feet below sea level!)
Who knew there was so much to see in Death Valley?

Sounds like you picked the perfect time to visit Death Valley. The only memory that I have of it is that we once broke down there on our family vacation. In the middle of the summer. Tires were melting into the asphalt. :)
Yikes! I would never go in the summer. A ranger told us that plenty of people do, though (especially Europeans--do they not know how hot 120 really is?).
