We were able to spend 2 days at Death Valley helping the park rangers clean up areas that they had not been able to get to because of staffing and time. It was an amazing experience and I can’t wait to spend more time there.
Sincerely,
Death Valley National Park
A world of extremes, Death Valley is the nation's driest, hottest and lowest place, but also features mountains over 11,000 feet high that experience below-zero weather and snow, as well as colorful badlands, sand dunes and canyons. Its dramatic mountains, valleys and dunes are world renowned for their complex and diverse geology. The park also contains a wealth of well-preserved archaeological sites and petroglyphs.
State(s): California Nevada,
Established: 1933
“The parks represent the legacy that has been left to us by those that came before us and is our responsibility to keep safe for everyone to be able to enjoy and access.”
