Scotty's Castle reigns in California's Death Valley National Park
Scotty's Castle in Death Valley National Park is a ranch house with a hefty dollop of whimsy. You may take a one-hour tour of the castle ($11 adults; $6 ages 6 to 15), which is named for Walter Scott, a.k.a. Death Valley Scotty. Scott's residence, Lower Vine Ranch, is a mile walk from a nearby trailhead. A seasonal tour takes 2 1/2 hours and is available at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. March 9, 10, 23 and 24 and April 6 and 7.
Tickets: $15 per person. Reservations required. Info: (760) 786-2392, www.nps.gov/deva.>
