Where Extremes Create Beauty

Death Valley National Park is a land of extremes and superlatives. From the lowest point in North America to peaks over 11,000 feet, from ancient salt flats to technicolor canyons — this is Earth at its most dramatic.

Hottest Place on Earth

Badwater Basin sits at 282 feet below sea level — the lowest point in North America. Summer temps exceed 130°F.

Zabriskie Point & Beyond

Surreal eroded badlands, rainbow-colored mountains, and vast salt flats that stretch to the horizon.

Sailing Stones

Witness the mysterious Racetrack Playa — where massive rocks move across the desert floor on their own.

Gold Tier Dark Sky Park

One of the darkest places in the US. See the Milky Way, meteor showers, and planets with the naked eye.

3.4 Million Acres

The largest national park outside Alaska. Canyons, dunes, craters, and ghost towns across an epic landscape.

Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes

Iconic rolling sand dunes perfect for sunrise photography, sandboarding, and otherworldly desert wandering.
