What is Death Valley National Park
Death Valley National Park is a United States National Park that is located in the Southern California Desert and in Nevada. Many travelers overlook the park due to the misguided belief that it is simply a lifeless, empty landscape, but this 3.4 million acre (14,000 km2) park is not only the largest park in the continental USA but arguably one of the most striking specimens of Mother Earth. Nearly every major geological era is elegantly exposed here in what sometimes appears to be one of her greatest tapestries, gloriously presenting her full spectrum.

When you visit the park, make sure to stop by and see Scotty's Castle. It is a very interesting place with a great story. It will take a good 2-3 hours to check out the whole place. I visited Death Valley in mid November and the temp was perfect.
