Death Valley National Park is a wonderful place to visit if you wish to escape civilization for a day or two and see the lowest, hottest, and driest national park in the country. Death Valley is located below sea level and is a place of vast diversity, where winters offer snow-covered peaks and spring rains can temporarily transform the desert into a lush meadow of wild flowers. Hiking, mountain biking, and backcountry camping are popular activities, but you can also tour a large part of the park by ordinary motor vehicle along a very extensive network of paved roads and explore backcountry roads by 4X4. Remember to bring in everything you need and carry out all your rubbish.
