Here are the photos of my road trip through Death Valley and Sonora Pass on May 25 and 26.

Our route went like this: Hwy 88 and 89 over Luther Pass and Monitor Pass, past Topaz Lake into Nevada and Hwy 95, down to Shoshone (and the worst motel I've ever stayed in, the Shoshone Inn), then up through Death Valley and over Sonora Pass back home. Due to time constraints, we did not go to Zabriskie Point or Scotty's Castle.
