Death Valley National Park: The Absolute Essentials

Death Valley National Park encompasses North America’s lowest elevation at Badwater Basin and the volcanic Ubehebe Crater. This list features the park’s diverse geology, from the colorful volcanic deposits of Artist’s Palette and the golden badlands of Zabriskie Point to the 210-meter-high Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes. Historical sites include the 1880s Harmony Borax Works and the abandoned Keane Wonder Mine. Notable natural phenomena are also represented, such as the "sailing stones" of Racetrack Playa and the eroded formations along the Golden Canyon Trail.
