Throughout the country, state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, museums, and similar institutions are struggling to continue operating. Because of general financial problems, many of these institutions are operating on a reduced schedule or in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Many will not weather these hard times without your help. Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep state parks open. It will be your loss. Public Service Announcement | Test space for future ad if donations don't increase. |

Death Valley

Death Valley National Park, formerly a National Monument, is the largest National Park in the United States National Park System and covers a large part of eastern Inyo County and parts of San Bernardino County and Nevada. There are dozens of points of interest, scientific oddities, breath-taking beauty, historic sites, old mines and ghost towns. Many are easily accessible from paved roads, many require high clearance four wheel drive vehicles. |
I returned the following year, 2006, for a more in depth visit.
Trona-Wildrose Road can be used as a short cut when drivng north from Trona, however there is a section about five miles long that is not paved and can sometimes be a little rough.
