Death Valley, CA
Every year Nevadan’s celebrate our state’s admission into the Union with Nevada Day, as the last Friday in October. This year the holiday fell on Halloween weekend; what a great excuse to get away!

As Miles was just getting over a cold, we decided that it was best to not camp and decided to spend a night at the beautiful Ranch in Death Valley National Park. On our way, we stopped at the Happy Burro in Beatty, NV to meet up with Shelley, who works there now! How cool is that?! And naturally, we had to take the scenic route on the way. The long way through the granite cliffs of Titus Canyon did not disappoint!
After spending the morning visiting the unique landscape Death Valley offers, we drove back towards Beatty, NV where we participated in their local Trunk-or-Treating event. To give Ella a long enough nap in the truck, we stopped in Rhyolite, NV to explore the old mining town. We then got the lion and monkey ready at the Happy Burro for their Halloween evening!
