Hi to all at Roadtrip America.

Last year I made my first visit to America. 4 days in New York City followed by 4 days driving around New York State.

This year I am being a bit more adventurous and visiting Southern California and I would be really grateful of any advice regarding a section of my drive. I am leaving Los Angeles on the morning of September 22nd and heading off to Death Valley. I plan to arrive in Las Vegas for the 24th.

The options I am thinking about, with regard to accommodation, are two nights at Panamint Springs, or two nights at Furnace Creek, or one night at each. What would be the best option with regard to seeing as many of the Death Valley highlights as possible? Are there any ‘tour routes’ on the net which will help me avoid criss-crossing the area in a desperate attempt not to miss anything?

I have tried searching back through previous topics on the forum but there is so much information on Death Valley, my brain is now minced! To be honest though, most of the posts cover drive-throughs rather than a more leisurely 2 day meander.

Regards to all.
