My mom and dad did visit Death Valley a few years ago in April. They both said they enjoyed it, my mom's favorite thing was the Devil's golf course (she said it just made her laugh to think of playing golf there). She also said it they walked around for some time looking at and identifying wild flowers and really enjoyed that. They had a small booklet or brochure that they used, she couldn't remember if they had purchased it or if it was free.<br /><br />They drove that morning from Las Vegas and spent a good part of the day driving through- they first drove up to Dantes peak and saw the view (they said it was very windy and cold on top- even though it was quite warm the rest of the day). Then they drove down to the Devil's golf course area and did the Artist's Drive loop. From there they headed out.<br /><br />My dad said they drove quite a ways out of the park to find a place to stay for the night (but they were looking for a hotel)- so I'm not sure what they campgrounds are like.<br /><br />Hope this helps- if I get any other responses I'll let you know.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02318640102582025347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-48975547213611632602011-11-01T20:16:53.600-07:002011-11-01T20:16:53.600-07:00I don't know about Death Valley, but I think y...I don't know about Death Valley, but I think you should definitely visit Lompoc, CA! Lompoc has a prison, a couple stores, sky diving, and The Bullocks! ;) No, but seriously, let us know if your going down or up the central coast, i.e. between LA and San Fran. We would love to see you guys, and you could definitely park it here for a night if you need a free place to stay.Cassie Bullockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439330868486893157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-61972176429304970922011-10-31T15:13:44.046-07:002011-10-31T15:13:44.046-07:00@HeatherThat would be great if you would ask, Heat...@<a href="#c8637678428132637328" rel="nofollow">Heather</a>That would be great if you would ask, Heather.

My husband doesn't have fond memories of his childhood family trips, but he's starting to realize how fun car trips with the family can be! <br /><br />I've never been to death valley so I don't have much of an opinion. Some of my family have been so if you need more input I could ask around and see what they think.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02318640102582025347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047618339605556391.post-5478901051153445192011-10-31T13:16:52.888-07:002011-10-31T13:16:52.888-07:00Can I tell you how much I LOVE trip planning?
