The next stop after Channel Islands National Park on our February 2015 trip to southern California was Death Valley National Park. Our route took us from Ventura through Santa Clarita, Palmdale and Lancaster before leaving the freeways of the greater Los Angeles area. Once out of the traffic and in the desert again, we had some beautiful scenery as we traveled along CA 14, US 395 and CA 190 as we approached Death Valley.
