Death Valley

Overshadowed by its more famous sibling Yosemite, Death Valley National Park receives less fanfare. With no expectations, I was blown away. There is no light pollution so the stars actually twinkle at night. I was so moved as a wee 13 year old that I wrote a poem about the night I saw the stars come alive.

I’ve returned many times since, always to show friends this special place in my heart.
