About Death Valley National Park
Death Valley National Park, straddling the California-Nevada border, is a land of superlatives: the hottest recorded temperature on Earth, the lowest point in North America at Badwater Basin, and some of the most dramatic desert scenery anywhere. From colorful badlands and sand dunes to snow-capped peaks and mysterious moving rocks, the park spans over 3.4 million acres of stunning contrasts.
