Death Valley National Park is vast desert country where distances, heat, and water needs matter as much as the scenery.
Introduction
Death Valley is the hottest, driest, and lowest national park, with salt flats, dunes, badlands, mountains, canyons, and spring wildflower displays.
Planning Highlights
Plan stops at Badwater Basin, Zabriskie Point, Dante view, Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, Golden Canyon, Artist Drive, and Ubehebe Crater.
Camping and Lodging
Furnace Creek Campground takes reservations seasonally, and several other campgrounds operate with limited services. Summer heat can be dangerous, so check conditions before camping or hiking.
