Death Valley National Park (Video) is a beautiful preserved area on the border between the US states of Nevada and California. The park is best known as having the lowest point in North America, and it is a place of extremes, with soaring summer temperatures reaching record highs, mountaintops graced with snow, and lush green areas filled with plants and wildlife. Titus Canyon, with its ghost town and vibrant colorful rocks, is one of the more popular attractions, as are the salt flats of Badwater Basin. February is right in the middle of high-season for Death Valley, with mild and comfortable temperatures and the best chance to see beautiful desert wildflowers. Death Valley Map
