When planning a California or Western U.S. road trip, Death Valley National Park needs to be one of your stops.
Death Valley National Park has so many unique hikes and landscapes, but many of them are fairly easy to access. This makes it possible to see Death Valley in a day.
Death Valley National Park is home to the Mesquite Sand Dunes. These sand dunes make for an impressive sight and beautiful pictures.
From the parking lot, you can look up and see the sign that shows you where sea level is. It really gives you a better idea of how far down you are from sea level.
Artist’s Drive is just what it sounds like – a scenic drive through part of Death Valley. The soil is colored thanks to being rich in metals and minerals.
This area is known for the famous sliding rocks. The dirt is hardened and has dried like the area I found on Badwater Road.
We chose the cheapest option, but it was still more than we would usually pay, especially for what we got.
