DEATH VALLEY continued:

On our second full day in the national park we set off for Badwater the lowest point in the United States.

On the road there we stopped at Artist's View to see the different colored rock formations.

From Artist's Pallet we continued our way to Devil's Golf Course to walk around on the weird salt formations. Then it was onto Badwater to walk out onto the salt flats. Once everyone was back at the cars we drove further south to see some wildflowers along the roadway. First picture is a Desert Five Spot.

I don't know what kind of flower the yellow one is but it looked to be in the daisy family.
After leaving the wildflower area we were going to return to the campground via the West Side Road which is unpaved but everyone was tired so we decided to return via the paved road instead. Greg and Debbie were leading the way back with Debbie driving when she was pulled over by the park police for speeding. Luckily, she got off with a warning. While on the way back to the campground some of us stopped again at Artist's Pallet to see if the colors had changed because of the sun's position. It was still too bright to make a difference. We all got together again for happy hour and after dinner we gathered at the fire pit for dessert of s'mores.
