The Drive To Aguereberry Point, Death Valley

We like to do a lot of driving because we are kind of old and hiking is a bit too much for us.  I tried exercising and ended up in a walking cast for 3 months.  This is the drive to Aguerberry point.  Pete Aguereberry mine can be seen along the way.  You can actually go in the mine except in spring.  The bats are breeding in the spring so it is closed at that time.  It is a bit of a drive but worth it.  I have added a link to the National Park service if you want to learn more about Death Valley and Pete Aguereberry. http://www.nps.gov/deva/historyculture/pete-aguereberry.htm
I always take pictures of any signs so I remember where I was



The Eureka Mine



I love this picture of the old man.  He is a good husband.

This is looking down on the parking area.  They recommend high clearance vehicles for the last part of the drive.  Our daughter is in this also.

As you can see the view is just magnificent from here although don't expect to see the snow unless you get here in early spring and there has been precipitation.

Just another vantage point.
