Death Valley is less deathlike in the spring when temps don't go much above 80 degrees. I loved Charcoal Kilns trailhead with these unique rock huts. The views going up Wildrose Peak spanned for 40 to 50 miles across Death Valley National Park
Telescope Peak towers over Death Valley National Park at over 11,000 feet high. I spent the night in the car at Mahagony Flats Camground for an early morning ascent of Bennett's and Rodger's Peaks in route to Telescope. Views were tremendous of Badwater, Owens Valley, and the Eastern Sierra's over 50 miles away. Used my microspikes for the final 500 feet of the ascent to the summit. Gorgeous day
Red Rock State Park outside of Las Vegas provides a true desert experience only 30 minutes away from the noise of the Strip and downtown. Views were terrific from Turtlehead Peak
