So before I was on the road as a "digital nomad" I worked for a great company that would take us on yearly trips and adventures. Back in 2018, we had a week-long trip to Las Vegas and Death Valley.
This trip was the first chance I had to play with a new toy as well. A 360 camera. Today is just a short post about Death Valley.
Death Valley, Nevada
Death Valley is located approximately 2 hours west of Las Vegas. It is a desolate and barren wasteland. If you were lost on these desert plains, it wouldn't be long until you succumbed to heat and sun.
Luckily, we were staying at a wonderful resort. The Inn at Death Valley is amazing and was a perfect oasis away from the heat and sun of Death Valley.
On our 3 day stay, we ended up taking a few hikes throughout the area. I also ventured out at night to try and capture some cool nighttime shots. Unfortunately, the full moon was so bright it was difficult to capture any good nighttime sky shots.
I was able to get quite a few cool 360-degree images with my 360 camera.
Things to do in Death Valley
Honestly, there isn't much to do, but that was perfect. After a rough 3 nights of nonstop partying in Las Vegas, it was great to relax by the pool all day and have a great meal at night.
The tours we went on were short enough that you didn't die of heat exhaustion but you were still able to take in the majesty of the park. Seeing this massive desert up close is truly amazing. At times it feels like you are on a different planet.
You'll experience sand dunes, salt fields, towering rock formations, and more while adventuring in Death Valley.
I would encourage anyone visiting Vegas to spend a few extra days and venture out to Death Valley if you have a chance.
360 Photography in Death Valley
Most of the photos in this article were captured with my Madventure 360 camera. This camera uses two action cameras to quickly capture 360-degree images and video. In the future, I'll post some 360 video tutorials. For now, just enjoy the pictures.
Time for Home
Vegas and Death Valley was a hell of a trip but I feel I needed another vacation right after the trip!
Let's Connect
I hope everyone is enjoying these posts. I'm sure everyone is anxious to get back out on the road and enjoy life the way we could before the pandemic.
I encourage everyone to do what they can to stay safe and stop the spread of Covid. This doesn't mean living in fear. Do what's right and do what you can to stay healthy! Let's beat this thing and get back to traveling!
Currently based in Siem Reap, Cambodia, I'm a solo-traveling, digital nomad. Due to the pandemic, I've been living in Siem Reap for almost 2 years now. While I'm hoping to get back on the road soon, I'm not in a rush.
I'd love to connect with other travelers, digital nomads, gamers, or residents of Cambodia. Don't hesitate to say hi or send me an upvote!
