Death Valley is geology laid bare\u2014a scarred, gashed, dissected place where striated canyons gouge forbidding mountains, and where a vast salt-pan floor shimmers under a fierce sun. Ferocity reigns here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Yet Death Valley\u2019s 300-plus miles of paved roads and a smattering of oasis-style facilities make it surprisingly easy to visit, though that doesn\u2019t diminish the park\u2019s overpowering impact.<\/p>\n

No one has ever taken Death Valley lightly. The native Timbisha Shoshone people understood its hidden generosity\u2014they knew how to harvest its pine nuts and mesquite beans, to hunt its bighorn sheep and mule deer, and to use arrowweed to craft naturally ventilated homes. But they also knew that summer was no time to linger on a valley floor that bakes at 120 degrees or more for months at a time. They retreated to the same high country that welcomes visitors today.<\/p>\n

Gold seekers, prospectors, and borax miners largely displaced the Timbisha people. Mining ruins are among the park\u2019s fascinations, as is the possibility of seeing wildlife.<\/p>\n

How to Visit<\/h2>\n

Death Valley is huge and has multiple entry points. However you approach, make your way to its core, Furnace Creek,<\/strong> where you\u2019ll find the main visitor center,<\/strong> food, and lodging. Although it\u2019s possible to simply drive through the park in a day, you can radiate out and back from Furnace Creek and visit attractions such as Ubehebe Crater, Scotty\u2019s Castle,<\/strong> and Badwater,<\/strong> the lowest place in North America. With three days, you can include a day in the high country, and an even longer visit gives you time to explore remote terrain (a high-clearance vehicle is needed).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
