Well, it was our first trip to DV. I am envious of you folks that can get there in less than 2 days! DV is pretty amazing and I would check out every sq inch if it were close. It is a 'mysterious' place in that it doesn't give up its secrets easily. Rangers lie to keep people out with tales of "closed" or "rough" roads that are totally passable. You just need to be a little adventurous and check things out for yourself.
Anyway, we came in through Furnace Creek on day 1, ended up at Mesquite. Then to the Panamint City and Ballarat area, checked out Lee Flats on Day 2. Day 3 got us all the way to the Racetrack, where we camped two miles passed it, then to the crater the next day and eventually camped just outside the south border of the park near Ibex. Lots of driving and exploring. Titus was closed due to the recent weather unfortunately, but we hiked it a little.
I'll save you the standard photos, since everyone posts stunning ones. Instead, I've been playing around with time lapses. There are several of sunsets from various camps, but the winner is the 4th video below. This one I shot at sunrise at the Racetrack.
