Death Valley –
Death Valley, which encompasses
Death Valley National Park, contains some of California's most inhospitable terrain, with extreme heat that has left this desert area strangely beautiful.
Salt fields, dry parched land, sand dunes, mountains, and a lake that lies below sea level create a unique landscape in this remote valley.
Visitors can drive through the park and stop at lookouts, hike short trails, see the ruins of the valley's former industry, and even paddle in the shallow
Badwater Lake, if there is any water in the lake at that time.
