Nope.

The closest I’ve been is about 85 miles away, and about 14,777 feet higher in altitude.

I have not made it to DVNP. Last month, though, I was driving from La Quinta to Joshua Tree NP on I-10, and passed an elevation sign that said “Sea Level”. That amazed me.

We were going to go back this year, but it didn’t work out. Next year I’ll definitely go back
