Interesting Death Valley experience this time around. Arrived with snow advisories in the passes travelling from Nevada through Beatty, then flooding rains in Death Valley, soaring to temperatures a few days later into the 90s, then a day of 65 mph winds, and finally back to snow advisories heading to the coast. Incredible to see Badwater Basin full of water (Lake Manly) and getting the opportunity to wade into a very large saltwater lake. Hiking as usual was great.
