Alone in the world

Death Valley, CA.

On my recent end of the Summer/beginning of Fall Vacations, I visited Death Valley and I loved it, I knew little about this place but I also knew that the views and location was extremely hot and also amazing so I booked my trip knowing I was coming here! Is one of the most awesome places i’ve been, I had a great time driving through the park and feeling hot at all times, termometer reached 107˚ F while I was there.

I arrive to the Park through the Death Valley Junction coming from Las Vegas, is about 2hr drive. Be prepared with a cooler with ice, water and snacks! I camped at “Panamint Springs” but there’s a couple more Campgrounds at Furnace Creek. Don’t forget to go to the Visitor Center and get your map, you can’t be around with out it and a car, most importantly.

This is the list of the places I visited in 1 day:

  1. Zabriski Point

  2. Furnace Creek-Visitor Center

  3. Artist Drive-Artist Palette

  4. Badwater Basin

  5. Natural Bridge

  6. The pool at “The Oasis” ($10 dls)

  7. Dante’s View

  8. Stovepipe Wells -Mesquite Sand Dunes

  9. Panamint Springs resort (Only for sleep)

I wish I had extra time to explore more but I did pretty good!

Check the short version of a 20 min video I made at the bottom of the post, I hope you guys like it. Leave a comment if you like.

I went to the Grand Canyon National Park

I went to the Grand Canyon finally!!! I camped 1 night at Mather Campground, it was awesome... Drove from Las Vegas to there, is about 4.5 hours. I don't think it was worth the time I spent in the car to get there, you should get an helicopter if you want to, you'll save a lot of time and you will get a better view.

Maine. Portland, Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Cape Elizabeth.

Traveling to Maine was one of the things In my SummerBucket list, I finally got the chance to go and I loved it!

I traveled from JFK New York to PWM Portland Airport, flight is about 1 hour, is the shortest flight ever!

Here are some photos of how this trip went.

You must:

  • Go to Bar Harbor and visit Acadia National Park, is worth it if you’re into nature and hiking, is about 3 hr drive from Portland, this is a beautiful and big park and a cute small town. The highlights are: - The Bubbles, -The Beehive, -Sand Beach, -Jordan Pond, -Watching the sunrise from Cadillac Mountain, maybe Thunder hole if the tide is high and a walk around Bar Harbor for food and souvenirs shopping.

  • Have some Lobster rolls, my favorites were from Lobster Co and Bite into Maine, also The Highroller, and must try a Blueberry pie too I tried mine from Geddy’s in Bar Harbor!

  • Walk around Old Port at Sunset

  • Get some oysters from Eventide Co. or Blyth and Burrows. Great Cocktails at Portland Hunt + Alpine Club.

  • And of course the Lighthouse visit in Fort Williams Park in Cape Elizabeth.
