We drove through Las Vegas and saw the Hoover Dam, and ended up in Death Valley pretty late in the day. Death Valley is the lowest, driest, and hottest area in North America. And that late in the season (end of May) the campgrounds were closed, and it was pretty deserted.

That night we camped in Emigrant campground, the only open that late in the season. As the highlight of the night, Fatih found huge tarantula on the door handle in restroom.
After filling the tank with gas that was 2.5 times more expensive than outside the park (the only gas station for something like 75 miles), we hit the jumping snaky road retracing our steps back to the sand dunes

The badlands
And the journey continued on to Giant Sequoias and then to Yosemite Valley.
