The park was established in 1934 to protect prehistoric images and other cultural artifacts. For thousands of years Native Americans have lived within its boundaries. Currently there are no human inhabitants but many animals still call the park home. But this National Park located west of Las Vegas is a lot more welcoming than its name might imply \u2013 as long as you do it right.

Death Valley National Park is an American national park that straddles the California\u2013Nevada border, east of the Sierra Nevada. The park boundaries include Death Valley, the northern section of Panamint Valley, the southern section of Eureka Valley and most of Saline Valley.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Death Valley Tourist Season<\/h3>\n<p>Despite its extreme heat, Death Valley remains a popular tourist destination year-round. This being said, the tourist traffic dips slightly during the summer heat, and also during the winter. The shoulder seasons see increased activity in Death Valley due to the pleasant weather, especially on weekends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We think that shoulder seasons are the <strong>best <\/strong>time to visit Death Valley. Despite the crowds, temperatures are much more tolerable during Spring and Fall. Winter is also a good time to visit Death Valley, but be aware that it gets quite chilly at night (or at higher elevations). You can avoid crowds during tourist season by visiting popular sites early in the morning.<\/p>\n<h3>Death Valley Weather<\/h3>\n<p>Death Valley is characterized by its subtropical, desert climate. However, tourists might be surprised by the ecological diversity of the region. Death Valley is largely a below sea level basin, but also contains mountains, lakes, and rivers. As such, climate is not consistent across Death Valley, and will change depending on where you are.<\/p>\n<p>This being said, tourists can expect hot, dry conditions when they visit Death Valley, especially if visiting during the summer months. Summers in Death Valley are sweltering hot, routinely reaching temperatures above 120F (with low temperatures at higher elevations). During the shoulder seasons, you can expect more reasonable highs of 70-80F. Winters see the lowest temperatures, but are still pleasant, reaching daytime highs of 60-70F and lows of 40-50F.<\/p>\n<p>Death Valley sees a consistent drought year-round, so expect sunny, clear skies when you visit. Occasional rainstorms bring plant life to the region for short periods, but these are unpredictable and rare.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-98296\" src=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/death-valley-dry-desert-with-plane-part.jpg\" alt=\"death valley dry desert with plane part\" width=\"890\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/death-valley-dry-desert-with-plane-part.jpg 890w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/death-valley-dry-desert-with-plane-part-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/death-valley-dry-desert-with-plane-part-768x393.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_in_Death_Valley\"><\/span>Where to Stay in Death Valley<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Death Valley has several options for staying right in the park itself. These include:<\/p>\n<h3>Death Valley Lodging<\/h3>\n<p>There are a few lodging options <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/deva\/planyourvisit\/lodging.htm\" target=\"_blank\">within the park itself<\/a>. Options include a ranch property, a classic inn, and more. Certain properties book up fast, especially in tourist season, so you\u2019ll want to book ahead of time. Also note that Death Valley is a massive National Park (about 3,000 sq. mi.), so you\u2019ll want to book a destination near what you want to see. You can also book lodging in one of the smaller towns surrounding the Park (detailed in the link above). Some tourists also make a daytrip from Las Vegas, but it\u2019s roughly a 2.5 hour drive (one way).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Death_Valley_Camping\"><\/span>Death Valley Camping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several campgrounds across Death Valley which can be booked via the parks\u2019 website. Campgrounds are first come, first serve, and they book <em>fast <\/em>for popular timeslots (holidays and weekends). Death Valley camping has campgrounds year-round, but most are closed during summer months due to the extreme heat. Because of this, the few open campgrounds located at higher elevations book fast during summer.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Do_in_Death_Valley\"><\/span>What to Do in Death Valley<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve covered the logistics, let\u2019s get to the fun stuff \u2013 what should you see and do in Death Valley? Being such a massive National Park, Death Valley is packed with natural wonders and historic sites. Here are some of our top picks:<\/p>\n<h3>Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98305\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98305\" style=\"width: 990px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98305 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mesquite-Flat-Sand-Dunes.jpg\" alt=\"Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mesquite-Flat-Sand-Dunes.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mesquite-Flat-Sand-Dunes-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mesquite-Flat-Sand-Dunes-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98305\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For a true desert experience, head to Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, located near Stovepipe Wells near the centre of the park. These sand dunes are picturesque desert landscape. Long, swooping sand formations that illuminate in the sun fantastically, with some dunes reaching up to 100 feet in height. You\u2019re free to walk the dunes and climb to their highest points for the grand views. It\u2019s also a popular spot for \u201csand-boarding\u201d, which is snowboarding on sand.<\/p>\n<p>These are probably the most popular dunes in the park, but it\u2019s for a reason. As such, you can expect them to be very crowded during tourist season (spring and fall). But they\u2019re big dunes, so there will still be plenty of room to hike.<\/p>\n<h3>Badwater Basin<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98306\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98306\" style=\"width: 990px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98306 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Badwater-Basin.jpg\" alt=\"Badwater Basin\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Badwater-Basin.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Badwater-Basin-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Badwater-Basin-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98306\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Badwater Basin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Badwater Basin is one of Death Valley\u2019s most-frequented tourist locales. It\u2019s a salt pond and its claim to fame is being the lowest point in North America, at 280 feet below sea level. Depending on the conditions, there will be more or less water in the basin. When the area is dry, it\u2019s a large salt flat that tourists can walk onto. Other times, the water can get quite deep, and the reflection off the water makes the surrounding scenery pop.<\/p>\n<h3>Dante\u2019s View<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98307\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98307\" style=\"width: 990px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98307 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dantes-View.jpg\" alt=\"Dante\u2019s View\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dantes-View.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dantes-View-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dantes-View-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98307\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dante\u2019s View<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Dante\u2019s View is one of the most spectacular viewpoints in the park, overlooking the aforementioned Badwater Basin, and the mountains that border the basin on either side. It\u2019s a broad, breathtaking viewpoint, but this magnificence also makes it one of the most popular points in the entire park. Its popularity is increased by the fact that you can drive right to the viewpoint (but be aware that the parking situation is dicy during peak months).<\/p>\n<p>Being so high up, Dante\u2019s View offers cooler temperatures, which makes it an especially attractive destination during summer months.<\/p>\n<h3>Zabriskie Point<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98308\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98308\" style=\"width: 990px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98308 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Zabriskie-Point.jpg\" alt=\"Zabriskie Point\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Zabriskie-Point.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Zabriskie-Point-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Zabriskie-Point-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98308\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zabriskie Point<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On the topic of viewpoints, we can\u2019t leave out Zabriskie Point. Zabriskie is another viewpoint that is accessible by car, and offers a sweeping view of the stunning, multicolored rock formations in the area. If you\u2019re more adventurous, there\u2019s also an 8-mile hike leading to the viewpoint.<\/p>\n<h3>Wildflowers<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98309\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98309\" style=\"width: 990px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98309 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wildflowers.jpg\" alt=\"Wildflowers\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wildflowers.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wildflowers-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wildflowers-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98309\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wildflowers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You can see wildflowers which bloom throughout Death Valley in spring. Peak bloom is usually in March, but it changes quite a bit depending on weather conditions. A \u201csuperbloom\u201d is exceptionally rare, and happens with <em>perfect <\/em>conditions, seeing the entire valley floor covered with wildflowers.<\/p>\n<h3>Ubehebe Crater<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98310\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98310\" style=\"width: 990px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98310 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ubehebe-Crater.jpg\" alt=\"Ubehebe Crater\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ubehebe-Crater.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ubehebe-Crater-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ubehebe-Crater-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98310\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ubehebe Crater<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Ubehebe Crater is a volcanic crater that is over 400 feet deep. Its depth is a wonder from up-top, and there are also trails leading into the crater for the adventurous. Tourists can also choose to walk around the crater\u2019s rim, which is almost 2 miles long.&nbsp; There\u2019s also a parking lot near the crater\u2019s rim if you\u2019re only interested in the sights. Definitely one of the most interesting geological phenomena in Death Valley.<\/p>\n<h3>Racetrack Playa<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_98311\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98311\" style=\"width: 990px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-98311 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sunset-view-of-The-Racetrack-Playa.jpg\" alt=\"sunset view of The Racetrack Playa\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sunset-view-of-The-Racetrack-Playa.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sunset-view-of-The-Racetrack-Playa-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aswetravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sunset-view-of-The-Racetrack-Playa-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-98311\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Racetrack Playa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Racetrack is a large, flat mud bed in Death Valley. The flat itself is cool enough, but the main attraction are its rocks which have noticeable \u201ctracks\u201d behind them, as if they were moved. Numerous theories exist about how these rocks were moved \u2013 some more plausible than others. Either way, it\u2019s sometimes better to wrap yourself in the mystery of it all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Festivals_and_Events_in_Death_Valley\"><\/span>Festivals and Events in Death Valley<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Numerous events and festivals occur in and around Death Valley during certain times of year.
