Death Valley may be as close as youll ever get to visiting another planet. Its sculpted sand dunes, crusted salt flats, towering rocks, and polished marble canyons will make you consider your place in the universe.
Declared a national monument in 1933, then signed into national park status in 1994, Death Valley is the largest national park in the Lower 48 states. Located within the northern Mojave Desert, the park boasts extremes of temperatures and elevation. One early travel advertisement promised all the advantages of hell without the inconveniences. From the oppressive salt flats of Badwater Basin 282 feet below sea level to the snow line at Telescope Peak 11,049 feet above, a complex and varied geology spans eras of seas and volcanoes, tectonic forces and fault lines.
Death Valley holds spectacular sights for all to see, but its secrets are not so easily given up. Dotting the landscape are hidden springs, mining camps, ghost towns, and the sacred spots of indigenous people who call the valley home. Get out of the car to walk the twisting canyons, search for waterfalls or petroglyphs, and listen to the wild landscape. Decaying or preserved, battered by wind or watered by secret oases, these places stand as a testament to the frenzy of human hopes and the fury of imagination.

This was and still is a place for dreamerspyramid schemes and tall tales abound. Thousands came here to seek their fortunes. Some remain etched into popular history, while others have faded into local lore.
Come to Death Valley to be awed and humbled, dazzled, and pushed out of your comfort zone. Youll wonder whether the searing heat and whipping cold are creating a mirageor lifting the scales from your eyes.

Iconic views, short hikes, and easy access make Furnace Creek and the Amargosa Range an excellent introduction to Death Valley. The village of Furnace Creek serves as the park headquarters, with a plethora of serviceslodging, campgrounds, restaurants, and even gas. The most popular sights are in this region, including Badwater Basin, Artists Drive, Devils Golf Course, and Natural Bridge.
The Amargosa Range provides opportunities for in-depth hiking, biking, and rock climbing. Dig into Death Valleys mining past by traveling the West Side Road to the rugged canyons of the Panamint Range, the orchards of Hungry Bills Ranch, or the bubbling oases of Hanaupah Canyon. An easy two-hour drive to the parks lightly visited Southeastern Corner yields scenic springs, ghost mines, and pristine dunes.
Stovepipe Wells and the Nevada Triangle are home to steep alluvial fans that lead to the wind-sculpted and colorful canyons of the Cottonwood and Grapevine Mountains, including Marble Canyon. The tiny visitor hub of Stovepipe Wells occupies a central location on Highway 190, with the scenic Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes within sight.
The Nevada Triangle serves as a jumping off point to the spectacularand popularTitus Canyon drive, as well as the haunting ghost town of Rhyolite. Nearby Beatty, Nevada, offers services in this tiny corner of the park.
The drive through Titus Canyon offers spectacular views as it winds down to the valley floor.
The Eureka Valley is the most lightly visited park region. There are no services, so a trip here means roughing it, but youll be rewarded with solitude and natural wonders. The exception is popular Scottys Castle, a 1920s mansion tucked in the folds of the Grapevine Mountains. Scottys Castle was one of the most popular destinations in the park until severe flash floods in October 2015 damaged the historical buildings, infrastructure, and grounds of the popular destination. Scottys Castle is set to reopen in 2020.
The Eureka Dunes are the main draw in the Eureka Valley, towering more than 600 feet above the valley floor. In the secluded Racetrack Valley, hardy souls make the long, difficult drive to
