Description
Welcome to the narrated driving tour of Death Valley National Park!
■ Death Valley National Park
Death Valley is truly a place like no other. Sure, it holds the record for the hottest place on the planet, but it’s also full of wildly varied geography, from mountains to salt flats to rolling, colorful badlands and everything in between. This raw, inhospitable landscape is an absolute wonder to behold, and now you can brave its extremes from the comfort of your own vehicle!
Look across the valley from 5,000 feet up at Dante’s View, then drive down to the lowest point in North America—Badwater Basin. Stroll across blinding salt flats and marvel at the intricate crystal formations of Devils Golf Course. Cruise or hike through the bizarre rocky badlands which George Lucas used in the original Star Wars trilogy. There’s never a dull moment in Death Valley.
Along the way, you’ll dig deep into the harrowing history of Death Valley’s miners. Hear stories of their backbreaking labor, ingenuity, and the mining bust that paved the way for Death Valley to become a national park.
