Death Valley Shows Its Colors<\/h3>\n

Yesterday I returned from a trade show in Las Vegas. While there, I heard about one of nature’s spectacles. In nearby Death Valley<\/u> a rare happening was taking place. Armed with my camera, I made the 2-1\/2 hour drive to experience the so called SuperBloom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Death Valley is the driest, hottest place in North America. Although the climate isn’t very hospitable, wildflowers do appear each Spring. But I learned that this past October rainstorms set in motion a series of conditions that led to a literal explosion of colorful wildflowers that blanketed the normally harsh landscape of the park.<\/p>\n

Here are a few recordings of my visit to the 2016 SuperBloom:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I’ve been fortunate to have visited Death Valley at least a dozen times previously but I’ve never seen as many visitors taking in the colorful wildflower as I saw two days ago.<\/p>\n
