Translation;
Our first holiday to the American west coast was in 2013. Unfortunately, a few days after arrival, the ShutDown was a fact, all National Parks were closed and we could only drive the main roads. In 2015 we went again and now we could fully enjoy. We experienced the biggest difference in Death Valley. In 2013 it was there "only" 30 degrees Celcius, in 2015 it was 50 degrees! We had lunch
at Bad Water, in the car with the air conditioning at 20 degrees.
Some things do not change, such as the view at Zabriskie-Point. Still as beautiful as in 2013. However, the road to it was completely re-built, with the corresponding parking spaces. What an overwhelming landscape!

Ellen, you know I love your travel pages. And we have been to beautiful and haunting Death Valley in February where I nearly passed out of heat exhaustion on the salt flat and on a hike. Air conditioning in the car and in your place of lodging is not just a blessing but almost a requirement if you are to enjoy Death Valley. So glad you got to see it again.
@flowersgal Thanks for all your sweet comments! You are so lucky to live in a country with so much beauty in it. We visitted many NP's in West America and they are very different but they all have there own beauty. We'll definitely come back to enjoy your beautiful country. Kind regards, Ellen
