Overview
Death Valley National Park is a land of extremes, famous for holding the record for the highest air temperature ever recorded on Earth and containing Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America at $\text{282 feet}$ ($\text{86 meters}$) below sea level. Located mainly in California, with a small section extending into Nevada, this vast national park is characterized by stunning, stark desert landscapes, including colorful canyons, salt flats, towering dunes, and mountains that rise dramatically from the valley floor.
Despite its forbidding name and extreme climate, Death Valley offers incredible geological diversity and a unique ecosystem adapted to the arid conditions. It is a spectacular destination for stargazing, photography, hiking, and appreciating the raw, untamed power of nature. Visitors should be well-prepared for the environment, especially concerning heat and isolation.
Stand at the lowest point in North America, 282 feet below sea level.
Tip: Go early morning or late afternoon to avoid extreme heat.
Enjoy panoramic views of golden badlands and colorful rock formations.
Tip: Sunrise is the best time for photography.
See vibrant hills painted in pinks, greens, and purples along Artist’s Drive.
Tip: Late afternoon light enhances the colors dramatically.

Tip: Bring plenty of water and avoid midday visits.
Take in sweeping vistas from 5,475 feet above the valley floor.
Tip: Cooler temperatures make this a refreshing stop in summer.

Tip: Check ranger programs for guided walks and talks.
