Death Valley National Park is primarily located in California, with a small portion extending into Nevada.

Death Valley is renowned as one of the hottest and driest places on Earth, with temperatures reaching record highs, including the world-record temperature of 134°F (56.7°C) in Furnace Creek. The park is famous for its unique landscapes, such as the expansive Bad water Basin, the lowest point in North America, and the colorful hills of Artist's Palette. Visitors also enjoy exploring the sand dunes, salt flats, and rugged canyons. Despite its extreme environment, Death Valley is home to diverse wildlife and offers incredible opportunities for stargazing.
