Death Valley in Photographs (Lecture)
Monday, January 14, 2008
12pm to 1pm
Lecture Details If you think of Death Valley as a hot dry desert you are only partly right. Death Valley is the largest National Park in the lower 48 and the variety found within its boundaries is almost beyond imagination. There are 346 species of birds and no less than six species of fish in the park. Best of all are the 1000 species of plants, which include 23 endemics, at least one orchid and a Joshua tree forest. In the spring of a good year the flower display is truly impressive. The list of amazing attributes of Death Valley is extensive but this slide show will include most of them.
