My wife was reading your TR and getting all excited, she loves to rappel. She decides she wants to try out death valley but then she asked me if the hotel will have a pool.
Nice report, how close is the nearest Marriott?

Very nice trip report! I like reading about your views of each of the canyons. Of course, your pictures are as beautiful as always.

We stayed in a cabin and had a wonderful stay. There is a huge swimming pool that is AWESOME! The pool is spring fed with hot water year round.

The Furnace Creek Inn is pricy.... $350 per night.
But with the hot young stripper wife I've noticed the quality of the nightly entertainment goes up exponentially with the the quality of the hotel.... so.... $350 could be a bargain.... depending.....

I can't believe Tom doesn't have a guide book out yet. That place has got to be brutal on ropes.

The rock in the watercourses is highly polished and very smooth. The anchors are big piles of rocks, and generally back 5 to 15 feet from the edge. At first I thought this would make problems pulling the rope, but the rock is so smooth (in most places) that it does not really matter.
Live and learn.

When the kid was working there for a winter season a couple of years ago, we went out to visit. I wanted to stay at the Inn, but was happy we were talked into the Ranch. The properties are related, so you can stay at the Ranch and still hang/visit the Inn. You can only use the Inn pool if you stay at the Inn. The pool at the Ranch is huge. We spent the afternoon in the garden with drinks at the Inn before supper - the sunset was beautiful. Later in the evening, we returned to the Ranch and hung at the bar - people were fun and easy going.
Sunday brunch at the Inn is awesome!
