A RESORT IN DEATH VALLEY that opened on February 1, 1927 (91 years ago) is reopening after a multi-million dollar renovation.
The Oasis at Death Valley (formerly Furnace Creek Resort) has date palm trees, lush gardens, pools and, yes, a golf course.
This resort in one of the most unusual landscapes on earth is ideal for that winter checklist:
- It's sunny.
- The water (large natural spring-fed pools) is always 85 degrees.
- It's warm (average high is 73 in February, 82 degrees in March, 90 in April).
- Rain is rare.
