We were in Lafayette in January 2024, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Read about our previous visit in 2017 here.

Death Valley National Park
We visited Death Valley in December 2023, as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Death Valley is HUGE: it’s the largest US national park outside of Alaska, larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined. It’s also the hottest, driest, and lowest national park, and the hottest place Earth, once hitting 134°F! (Beware of the heat if…
