Creator's Key Takeaways
every time I come up here I at least have one or two bears coming around my campsite so be ready for that it could happen
Death Valley holds the record for the hottest temperature ever recorded on earth in 1913 it reached 134° F or 56° C
I would highly recommend checking out Coronado Island taking the bridge over the Coronado Bay this is amazing place to hang out
the drive itself can be a bit nail-biting at times because of the cliffs and the bridges but it's really worth it if you get a chance to do it
