The Cranky Campers celebrate the start of the summer solstice in true LA style. We attended the second night of Noah Kahan's "We'll All Be Here Forever" set at the Hollywood Bowl, then returned to Griffith Park to hike up to the famed Hollywood sign and visit the Batcave.
The fourth post in our Death Valley series explores the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes. Sand sledding and fun are permitted. As a bonus, the end of the post features a stop at Natural Bridge, an arch within Death Valley National Park not far from Badwater Basin.
In the third post of our Death Valley series, we hit a new low at 282 feet below sea level, the lowest point in North America: Badwater Basin.
If Golden Canyon looks a bit like they're out of a movie scene, it may be because it was used in the filming of "A New Hope." Formed by faulting and geologic uplift, Death Valley National Park has many scenic, other-worldly places to explore.
This is the first post of our Death Valley series. The national park is the lowest, driest, and hottest area in the United States, and there are many opportunities for adventure throughout the park.
