The name conjures images of broken-down wagon-trains and the bleached bones of dead pack-mules. The hottest, driest place in North America, Death Valley National Park is in many ways the desert land of popular imagination and western lore, but it is also a country of snow-capped mountains and hidden canyons, inhabited by plants and animals adapted to living in one of the harshest environments in the world. Located in central California, east of Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks and spilling over into Nevada, a visit to Death Valley National Park is a step into a land filled with danger, austere, compelling scenery, and history.
