Death Valley is the lowest spot in North America, much of it is below sea level

Hello
June 12 Saturday and Sunday we were in Las Vegas Nevada. Saturday we drove out to Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. Then we decided to go and see Donnie and Marie Osmond at the Flamingo hotel in the afternoon. Later in the evening we ate at the Canyon Grill and saw the Lion King at Mandalay Bay hotel and resort.

On Sunday we took a helicopter ride over Lake Mead, Hoover Dam and into the Black Canyon. It was great to see the Dam from high in the air. Then we drove out of Las Vegas and on to Death Valley. We spent the night in Bakersfield, CA.
