Review:

Death Valley National Park stretches between eastern California and Nevada and is one of the driest spots in the world. The park includes Titus Canyon, known for its ghost town and interesting colorful rocks, and the lowest spot in America – Badwater Basin and its salt flats. High above the valley, higher even than pine trees, is the Telescope Peak Trail.

Hospitable only to rattlesnakes, the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes are located north of salt mounds called the Devil’s Golf Course. It is hard to believe, Death Valley is home to a number of animals adapted to the dry conditions, such as bighorn sheep, kangaroo rats, and others. In spite of the inhospitable conditions, Death Valley is a fascinating place to visit, with massive sand dunes, mysterious singing rocks, salt flats located below sea level, and brightly colored sandstone canyons. There are also whole fields of wildflowers if you come at the right time. Death Valley National Park Video
