This is Part 1 of a three part video series of my trip to the Alabama Hills and Death Valley. Part 1 is a "scouting trip" with Barry Bonds to confirm the trail had not been washed out from recent flash floods in Death Valley and to review potential camp sites in the Death Valley area. Special thanks to Barry as both a trail partner and camera man! Part 2 is the same trip with Ed Shin's Patreon group and will highlight different camp locations and trail footage not seen in Part 1. Part 2 was an awesome trip with a great group of people! Part 3 is a quick day trip and hike into Darwin Falls located near Panamint Springs, CA. This was done after some epic rain and snow in the Death Valley area and the water falls were at their peak flow!

Notes:
1. All drone and video footage shot on BLM or private land, not Death Valley National Park.
2. At 5:18 in the video the mountain peak noted as Mt. Whitney is actually Lone Pine Peak at 12,949'. Mt. Whitney is slightly to the right and further northwest of Lone Pine Peak, making it appear smaller in height.
