Park Narodowy Doliny Śmierci (Death Valley National Park)
Park Narodowy Doliny Śmierci (ang. Death Valley National Park) – park narodowy położony w hrabstwie Inyo stanu Kalifornia i częściowo w hrabstwie Nye stanu Nevada. Zajmuje powierzchnię 13 628 km², obejmując kamienną pustynię z najniżej położonym miejscem na półkuli zachodniej. Cechą charakterystyczną doliny jest niezwykle wysoka temperatura powietrza dochodząca do 50 °C (sporadycznie rejestruje się kilka stopni więcej). W okresie letnim w środku dnia piasek rozgrzewa się do nawet 201 °F (94 °C). Dolina Śmierci wypełniona jest popękaną, zasoloną skorupą. Na terenie całej doliny jest kilka bardzo ciekawych formacji skalnych, wąwozów i pagórków. Woda występująca w Dolinie Śmierci jest bardzo zasolona i niezdatna do picia.
Klimat zwrotnikowy, wybitnie suchy. Jest to najgorętsze miejsce na Ziemi, niemal całkowicie pozbawione cienia i wody. Średnia ilość opadów wynosi poniżej 50 mm rocznie, a wilgotność względna poniżej 1%.

Extremely unique and record breaking National Park. It's the lowest, hottest and driest National Park, and spreading across California and Nevada is the largest in the lower 48 states. The views from the various lookouts are surreal and be sure to visit the salt flats at badwater basin.

Death Valley is huge! It’s vastness is mind blowing and beautiful. We visited the Mesquite Sand Dunes and Sand Plains. We saw a white lizard the was horribly fast. I highly recommend this road trip. Even if just a drive through. But be careful. There is no cell phone service and, needless to say, it gets hot! Bring water. Please stop by the ranger station and you will walk away with a wealth of knowledge.

Beautiful park but go in the winter when it isn’t too HOT!!! Reached 117 degrees 1 day of our trip. Is much more beautiful than I expected. Would recommend everyone visiting this National Park.

Probably best time to visit would be Winter but our experience at May was good too. Yes its scorching hot but the beauty and view will keep you recharged. Loved it.

Had lots of fun exploring the different view points ! It was gorgeous. Couldn’t stay out more than 10 minutes outside, please hydrate and keep your car’s AC on max !

Death Valley is stunning, and so many cool places to see! Bring lots of water! And if you make it down to the salt ponds, take off your shoes and walk on top of the soft fluffy salt crystals that line the path away from the road, and out into the desert. Make sure your gas tank is full! There is a gas station in the center of the park if you need, but it’s a pretty penny. Happy travels!

Super hot but worth the drive. Go prepared with essentials. Start by noon by Vegas and cover everything into sunset. However pit stops at each viewing point should not be more than 5-10mins else you'll miss out on other points.
