2009 Great Vegas Desert Wildflower Hunt

We stopped for gas at The Cherry Patch II.

After going through Beatty, we stopped at Rhyolite. Sarah and Jim enjoyed the bottle house. We drove around the ghost town.
Then we drove on in to Death Valley. A little in to the park, we started to find wildflowers.
After getting down in to the park, stopped at a few place and photogrphed several wildflowers and heading on to Scotty's Castle.

At Scotty's Castle we found some creosote in bloom.

We headed back south, stopped at the Devil's Golf Course.
Then on to Natural Bridge, where we hiked up the trail, under the bridge and partway up the dry waterfall at the upper part of the trail.

After a stop at Badwater Basin, we headed back to Vegas.

We got in to Maggiano's Little Italy about 10 PM.
