Because of the wildfires our camping reservations for Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks were cancelled. We now had four days to fill before we could check in at Grand Canyon North Campground. We also needed to have a minor mechanical problem with the RV repaired in Las Vegas.
So we decided to meander through Death Valley National Park, visiting Rainbow Canyon and Mesquite Sand Dunes, passing through Beatty, Nevada on our way to Las Vegas.
