Death Valley National Park

Death Valley National Park, straddling the border of California and Nevada, is a vast and varied landscape that defies its ominous name. Covering over 3,190,400 acres, it is the largest wilderness area in the contiguous United States. The park’s terrain ranges from volcanic hills and snowcapped mountains to expansive dunes and rugged badlands. Despite its harsh conditions as one of the driest, hottest, and lowest places in the country, the park teems with wildlife, including bighorn sheep, desert tortoises, and jackrabbits. Visitors can explore this unique and diverse environment, experiencing the stark beauty and natural wonders of the desert.
