Death Defying Furnace Creek Ranch and Resort in Death Valley National Park

Written by Kriss Hammond


Continued from page 1

Then a grizzled lounge guest blurts out: "It was 170 degrees at ground temperature today." My jaw drops into my drink, cooling with ice. "I placed a thermometer onrepparttar rocks,"repparttar 133641 amateur geologist states. "Butrepparttar 133642 world's record is over 230 degrees, also recorded here." It's true,repparttar 133643 rocks never cool off inrepparttar 133644 night and I am later conscious ofrepparttar 133645 radiating intensity onrepparttar 133646 way down torepparttar 133647 pool. No wonderrepparttar 133648 original Star Wars had episodes shot in Death Valley. You can find few places as alien asrepparttar 133649 salt pans pouring out ofrepparttar 133650 Panamint Mountains.

Furnace Creek Inn is one of my all time favorite hideouts. Just looking out acrossrepparttar 133651 naked monochrome salt flats makes me feel insignificant. Coyotes call inrepparttar 133652 night. The stars are out in full measure. No Vegas lights blotting outrepparttar 133653 heavens. The Saturday night during my stay there is a magnificent midnight meteorite shower — The Leonides.

My favorite room atrepparttar 133654 Furnace Creek Inn and Resort isrepparttar 133655 pool house, a free standing rock hewn building with windows on all sides, complete with an old fashion screen door on two sides ofrepparttar 133656 room, and antique bath with vintage faucets. The only drawback isrepparttar 133657 frolicking romping pool racket rousting far intorepparttar 133658 night. The pool isrepparttar 133659 most popular place for kids, just asrepparttar 133660 Oasis Bar is for adults.

This trip I take an Adobe wing room onrepparttar 133661 hillside, overlookingrepparttar 133662 Palm Gardens. The shady gardens are a nice stroll with birds flitting throughrepparttar 133663 trees, then, whererepparttar 133664 palms end it is a blazing hike alongrepparttar 133665 green edges ofrepparttar 133666 hotel property, an abrupt truncation of civilization meetingrepparttar 133667 brown expanse of wilderness stretching in every direction . . . treeless . . . lifeless . . . beerless.

The natural underground Amaragosa River is tapped byrepparttar 133668 Inn to fillrepparttar 133669 pool and waterrepparttar 133670 gardens. The small stream flows out ofrepparttar 133671 Palm Gardens and then disappears back intorepparttar 133672 wasteland. Not even a cactus grows out here because ofrepparttar 133673 salt. That thought quickly brings me back torepparttar 133674 pool, a veneer of sweat makingrepparttar 133675 cotton T a weeping rag. It does not take long to over-exert inrepparttar 133676 heat. My blood pressure is thumping. Someone should microbrew Death Valley Beer. What a winner that one would be. The only salt I want to see is aroundrepparttar 133677 rim of a Margarita glass.

Because it is high August,repparttar 133678 pool is hot duringrepparttar 133679 day, but mildly warm inrepparttar 133680 morning, so I exercised inrepparttar 133681 palm shaded pool inrepparttar 133682 early hours, and I am often joined by French and British kids running overrepparttar 133683 oven temped flagstone pavement like fire walkers dancing over hot coals, and then diving intorepparttar 133684 deep end. Laughter and pain arerepparttar 133685 same in all languages.
