Introduction and first trip
#1
Hello, everyone!  I'm a new member here, and as my handle suggests, I'm from the midwest.  I love traveling in the southwest, and I'm a moderately experienced dayhiker in desert terrain.  When I visit a wilderness location, I like to split my time between hiking and sightseeing from my car.  I'm the type of person who pulls over at as many interpretive signs as possible to read about the science and history of a location.

I have an upcoming trip with only a precious 2 1/2 days in the park, and I'm looking for feedback on my itinerary.  Is there anything you would add or subtract from it?  Thank you in advance!

Day 1:
start driving from Las Vegas in early morning
breakfast at The Inn
Furnace Creek visitor center
Harmony Borax
Mummy Canyon
check in at Longstreet Inn 

Day 2:
sunrise at Zabriskie Point
Zabriskie, Golden Canyon, and Gower Gulch loop
lunch at Stovepipe Wells 
Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes
Devil’s Cornfield 

Day 3:
sunrise at Badwater Basin  
Artist’s Drive and Artist's Dips    
lunch at Last Kind Words 
Dante’s View 

Day 4: 
check out of Longstreet Inn
Ash Meadows 
drive back to Las Vegas
