Death Valley has some 'ho-hum' parts, but others are fantastic. I went there for the first time a few years ago and really enjoyed it, it was winter though.
You have to remember that folks from other countries will view some of the scenery here completely different from those that have lived here all their lives.
I can remember when I first moved to Canada (from the UK) oh so many years ago, and I took my first trip to the Interior of BC, across the mountains. I remember that as we came down the other side, the vegetation began to change, we were almost in a desert. I was just shocked, I had no idea! My girlfriend with me, now my wife, didn't understand why I was so surprised.
A few years later, on one of my first trips up north with an inspection team, we were walking over to the pub, when something flashed in the sky. It was the Aurora! never seen them before, thought you had to go to the Arctic or Alaska to see them. I looked around, I was alone, the beer was a far greater attraction.
