We went back to Valle de la Muerte with a rented snowboard - time for some sandboarding! :) The hikes up the sandy hill got quite hot, but it was fun to try - similar to riding in a weird kind of heavy powder.

We also hiked up on the edge of the valley for a nice view. Two dogs had followed us all the way from San Pedro (they were very friendly, and just wanted some company). The split off to follow other groups of tourists when they god bored with us…

In the evening we went on the Stargazing tour. I had really looked forward to this, but was sadly disappointed. We got to see a few planets through a telescope, but the sky was very bright because the moon was out. Yeah, I know they don’t control the moon, but I would have expected them to not have the tours when they know there won’t be much to see…! Lesson learned: if the moon is more that 20% full during the tour, skip it. It is better to do it on your own if your schedule allows for you to be out when the moon is not (there are many apps to help you find the right time to look at stars).
