Thank you for this video. This video is extremely informative. I like how it was simple, no frills straight to the point! I will be going to DVNP to camp this weekend, my husband and I will most definitely check out some of these hikes!
Thank you very much for your lovely comment, we are so glad you find our video useful! DVNP is one of our favorite national parks. Don't miss the pupfish and have fun! 😊
I was on the crew that built the Salt Creek Trail in 1976. We lived in a trailer where the parking lot is now. Due to it being a sensitive area no vehicle's or power equipment was allowed so everything was transported on the site by hand and then by wheel barrel on the completed sections.
I would add two to your great list: Artists' Palette - many different stops along the drive where you can hike as far as your stamina takes you. Some hills and the farther out you walk, the fewer folks. It was extremely cold & windy when we were there so we just did a few quick under 1 mi hikes. Secondly, the hike to the bottom of Ubehebe is stunning, and not quite as cold if you're there on a cold, windy day. Lots of hikes in the backcountry too if your vehicle is VERY well equipped for making it on the Jeep trails.
Hello ! Bonsoir! Very nice video and well explained! After watching...i want to go now and see this place one day ! ATB Hélène et Serge 💑 Salutations à Alex et Evan
Thank you so much Hélène et Serge! Next time you come in the West, do plan some time in Death Valley, it is such a surprising place Bonne semaine a tous les deux! 😃
Woow!! Really excellent footage. Amazing places to visit. A great pleasure watching this beautiful family's hiking experiences. Have a wonderful day, my dear friend 😍💐💖
Some superb scenery but man, I could not take that heat, we are not used to that in the North of England lol. I guess the best time to hike is early morning before it gets too hot, which is when I like to hike the best. Cheers Alan
I love Death Valley, but have never hiked there. Always drove through with short stops along the way. Going to have make it happen someday! I just love that scenery! Great hikes!
You are right Tony, all the beautiful little stops on the way are also a big plus. You can still enjoy the scenery if you don't have much time. Maybe you could organize a family reunion there in the next few years? 😉 It would have to be over Christmas though! Thanks so much!
👍🤚my friend this was so wonderful to watch. Thanks for putting together your top 5 with all info needed. This is definitely a great collection and lots of good memories with the family. Have a good week take care 💕
We agree about Golden Canyon and Red Cathedral. We hiked it at sunrise. Loved salt creek even though we didn't find any pupfish. The trails beyond the boardwalk are fun for the lakes beyond. We spent a wonderful sunset on NewYear's Eve on Mesquite Flats Sand dunes.
What a fantastic trip Kay! Death Valley is much more fun than its name implies! LOL I discovered it for the first time through your road trip videos with Matt 😊
You are right Loren, it is quite desolate. And in many ways, it is part of DV's charm. So fun you got to camp there in high school. Maybe time to bring Adeline there? 😊
Nice video, just returned from there, awesome place!!! if you want a challenge, go to the bottom of Uhebebe crater... steep down, grueling back up, but cool to be at the bottom.
So many choices. Thanks for showcasing some of them. Hopefully we will make it out that way someday. We will definitely keep this video in mind if we do.
Thank you so much Christina! The diversity of sites in Death Valley makes it such a fun park to explore for the whole family. I hope you and the crew get there too 🤗
Awesome! Great lists of trails. I have driven thru Death Valley a few times but was not able to stop. I need to get out there and hike these trails. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Merci beaucoup Jonathan! La Vallée de la Mort est le deuxieme plus grand parc national des Etats-Unis (le premier étant en Alaska). Il est vraiment top pour explorer 😊
Great list of Death Valley hikes! We weren’t able to do any of these except The Harmony Borax Works as we had our dog with us as well as we picked the wrong time of year to go... a reason to go back!
Thank you so much Heather! It sure sound like you and Jim can plan for your next adventure there 😊 Late Fall to early Spring is the best. I hope you had a fabulous vacation! Can't wait to see your videos about it 🤗😃
Great orientation video for people who don't know Death Valley very well. I always watch RU-vid videos of places I am about to hike for the first time. I would have loved to have seen a video like this video before my first visit. I can tell little man loved Death Valley from his enthusiasm throughout the entire video. Nice job guys 😀👍.
Thank you so much Eric, we really appreciate your feedback! How many times have you been? You must know almost every corner of this park! We still have some site we have not seen yet, including the racetrack. Maybe next time... Little Man totally loved it, climbing on everything! It is such a great place for kids 😃 Hope you have fun plans for your days off this week!
@@WithinHikingDistance I have been to Death Valley about 4 times. 2 of those times were just for the day. Yes one day you have to go to the Race Track. It's really mind boggling. I should go back to Death Valley and film this Winter because I went before I started making RU-vid videos. I'm sure I'll do something fun on my days off.
Amazing production quality. You caught my attention by Death Valley, these trails are amazing. My fav is the Mesquite sand dunes in sunrise or sunset. Thank you for sharing :)
So sweet! Hope to hit that up sometime next year ourselves if we can plan our route properly. This looks out in the middle of nowhere lol. Very professionally done guys! Great video! - Shane
Thanks so much Shane! You can't miss! If you guys plan to visit, go between January and early April. It is totally in the middle of nowhere and that's one of the reasons why it is so cool 😊 Alex
@@WithinHikingDistance We may just need a bigger cell antenna! :-P Luckily that should be the time range we would be visiting haha. Thanks for the tip! - Shane
Man, got to make it to Death Valley! My favourite band growing up was Sonic Youth...and they had a tune called Death Valley ..which always kind of had me drawn to that area...but after seeing this footage, got to make the time.
It sounds like you already have a special connection with Death Valley Mattias! I hope you get to bring your family there. I look forward to an episode of Char there 💖
I am not a hiker at all, but now just getting interested in it. My goal in life is to hike Telescope peak. Have ever hiked it? If so your thoughts on it?
