Get psyched for a trip to Death Valley that will have us staying alive! We will leave usc at 4pm on Friday (meet by corepower yoga) and then head to camp where our graves await. On the way we will stop for dinner where you can buy food or you can bring your own dinner. That night we will get some rest for a full Saturday! Saturday we will wake up and have breakfast and then drive to the artist's palette where we will go onto a small trail to get a better look! Then we will head to Zabriskie Point where we will haike the golden canyon and gowers loop (about 6.5 miles)! Then we will go to Badwater basin- a filming location of the star wars movies- where we will walk along the rim. Not only that, but Badwater is the lowest point in North America. Then we will finish our day by heading to Dante’s View where we will explore the area and the views before driving to Alabama Hills and spending the night there. The next morning we will drive through alabama hills park and stop at the shark fin on our way out! From there, you will be able to see the highest point in the lower 48. Then we will be on our way to usc to make it back in time for the super bowl!
