Death Valley NP

Yesterday, Betty and I had an outing at Death Valley National Park. In the final days of his presidency, Herbert Hoover signed the legislation to establish Death Valley National Monument. During the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) began improving roads and facilities. In 1994, President Clinton changed the status of the park to a National Park and enlarged the park to 3.4 million acres.
In 2000, the Timbisha Shoshone Homeland Act allotted the tribe acreage within their ancestral homeland to live on in perpetuity. The tribe and the National Park Service jointly manage zones of the park.
I will add additional photos in future blogs.
Warmest regards, Gus
