INCREDIBLE THINGS TO DO IN DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK FOR 2022

Death Valley National Park is the largest national park in the USA and is located in the sunny state of California. In fact, it’s most well-known for being the hottest place on Earth. With a name as foreboding as Death Valley, you might be in two minds about whether or not to visit. 

Despite its name and reputation, Death Valley is absolutely worth visiting. Its landscape is so varied and unique, with desert on one side and mountains on the other.

I loved the silence and stillness here and the changing colors and shapes of the rock. It was so quiet you could hear the swooshing of the raven’s wings as it flew down the canyon quite high above our heads. 

Salt Creek Trailhead

The Salt Creek Trailhead is a special part of Death Valley NP not to miss. It is only a mile off the main road and offers proof that the desert is full of life. 

We were SO lucky to have arrived the day after they opened this drive. Apparently it had been closed for years!! As it was all new, the road was pristine dark black which just made the landscape pop even more.

Dante’s View will give you the BEST bird’s eye view of Death Valley. You really don’t want to miss it. You’ll get the swirling whites and muted browns of the salt basin deep in the valley that stretches for miles.

You can walk out to the highest sand dune which is a mile away in the distance. A mile is an easy walk on the flat but up and over sand dunes makes it a different kind of trail, especially in the HEAT.
