When we started our way to death valley we were supprised how quick the green nature around us developed into a brown, sandy desert and empty endless views. After we were driving straight on for an hour, we arrived at a sign which mentioned "road closed". Due to the snow up on the hills the streets were partly flooded. Roads in and around Death Valley are endless and you cannot even see the end. We had no opportunity as to turn around and drive all the way back, for hours.
