Death Valley National Park
Snowcapped mountain peaks, billiard table-flat salt pans and trickling salt creeks, tall sand dunes, multicolored canyons and wild badlands make up the impressively varied landscapes of Death Valley National Park, California.
Not your typical desert, Death Valley is a place where superlatives are appropriate. This is a place of absolute extremes. Death Valley National Park is home to the lowest point in North America—Badwater Basin—and offers views of the highest mountain in the contiguous United States—Mount Whitney. Situated within the Mojave Desert, it’s also both the driest and hottest place on the continent.
