Death Valley, California, USA.
Hottest, Driest and Lowest National Park!
In this below-sea-level basin, steady drought and record summer heat make Death Valley a land of extremes. Yet, each extreme has a striking contrast. Towering peaks are frosted with winter snow. Rare rainstorms bring vast fields of wildflowers. Lush oases harbor tiny fish and refuge for wildlife and humans. Despite its morbid name, a great diversity of life thrives in Death Valley.

DEATH VALLEY CALIFORNIA
Did you know there are five species of pupfish in Death Valley NP? All are isolated from each other evolving and adapting separately since the Ice Age flooded the area around 12,000 years ago. Pupfish are the only fish found in the park. The endangered Salt Creek Pupfish are found exclusively in the Salt Creek drainage of Death Valley. These small (2 inch) fish live primarily in an entrenched section of the creek where the deeper pools are lined with vegetation. The pupfish are able to survive extreme changes in their environment and live in saline water that ranges in temperature from near freezing to about 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The pupfish feed mostly on insects and alge. They survive drastic changes in their environment by being able to rapidly repopulate through several generations in a single year.

Have a great weekend!
I had the chance to go to Death Valley recently and we were treated to some rain and fresh snow on the mountain peaks overnight. Cold and windy day, but who could complain when your given the gift of a beautiful rainbow.
