Parks & Public Lands

Death Valley National Park

Hottest, Driest, Lowest: Death Valley is a land of extremes. It is one of the hottest places on the surface of the Earth with summer temperatures averaging well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Almost universally claimed as the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere, Laguna del Carbón in Argentina is lower, at 344 feet below sea level, Badwater Basin at 282 feet below sea level, is the lowest, driest place in North America with an average rainfall of only 1.96 inches a year.


This valley is also a land of subtle beauties: Morning light creeping across the eroded badlands of Zabriskie Point to strike Manly Beacon, the setting sun and lengthening shadows on the Sand Dunes at Stovepipe Wells, and the colors of myriad wildflowers on the golden hills above Harmony Borax on a warm spring day.
