The Inn at Death Valley

is an oasis

transforming the desert

into a tropical paradise

bursting with life.

Photos capture,

forever fall.

The Snow Queen,

kept from creeping in.

The forest basks in perpetual sun,

and shows her full fall finery.

Snow is blanketing the Sierra now, but cheers to you from Sequoia in the fall~

The forest in late fall,

is emptied of people,

full of magical colors,

still and expectant.

Winter is coming!

Cheers to you from Sequoia in the fall~
