Death Valley

Two and half hour drive from Las Vegas

Nestled on the border of California and Nevada lies a park of extremes with scorching hot summer days and frigid winter ones. With towering sand dunes, multi-colored canyons, and the lowest point in North America, Death Valley is also the driest place in North America. Drive through Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area along Highway 160 for the shortest route from Las Vegas to Death Valley.

Zabriskie Point offers extraordinary views of the rugged moonlike land.

To experience the rainbow of colors, Artists Drive is a 9 mile one-way loop beginning about 5 miles south of Furnace Creek.

Visit Badwater Basin for the salt flats. This is the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level.

*IMPORTANT: In the hot summer months, make sure to take lots of water when hiking and exploring this area, dehydration is a dangerous and common effect when you go unprepared.
