What February feels like

Presidents' Day weekend brings the first real crowd of the year and Furnace Creek fills up; otherwise February is close to ideal. If the winter has been wet, this is when people start watching for wildflowers along the Badwater Road — it is a rare year that delivers, and locals are careful never to promise one.

Real rain shows up maybe one day all month; the rest stay dry.
