One of the days we were in the area of Death Valley National Park we traveled out of the park by way of Beatty, Nevada, and spent most of the day at Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Nevada's Amargosa Valley. The refuge is an oasis in the desert and we hiked to some of the springs, swam in the reservoir, climbed some of the cliffs, saw the pupfish for which the refuge is known, and had a great day with hardly anyone around.
