Death Valley National Park is a basin located below sea level, and with record summer heat and steady drought, it’s a place of extremes. Rare rainstorms bring about fields colorful wildflowers, while towering peaks can be seen frosted with snow. Despite its off-putting name, Death Valley is worth a visit, and can be a great place to escape the cold of the winter season for a camping trip. The park is the lowest, driest, and hottest national park in the country. Visitors will find backpacking, hiking, and camping opportunities here, as well as snowshoeing, off-road vehicle adventures, golfing, horseback riding, and rock climbing.
