Learn More about Death Valley

Located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, Death Valley National Park is one of the largest national parks in the United States (1,628 km2). The name Death Valley was given by the first European gold seekers who crossed into California during the Gold Rush in 1849. They found themselves trapped in this hostile and dry nature where no animal or plant life could take shape. But only one member of this procession died. Today, Death Valley attracts mostly tourists. The gold diggers have disappeared. But in the past, during the Gold Rush, they built mining towns here, because there are many minerals in the subsoil of this hostile region. Tourism began to emerge in the 1920s. Tourists came to enjoy the benefits of the site's hot springs. Death Valley was declared a national monument in February 1933 and a biosphere reserve in 1984. Mining seriously degraded the site. Today, only two Borax mines are still active. Tourism has become one of the main resources of the region. Many sites can be visited within the park. Artist's Palette, Charcoal Kilns, Dante's View, Golden Canyon, Rhyolite, Sand Dunes, are just a few examples of the sites to be discovered, but there are many others. The salt sea, canyons, palm groves, sand dunes, craters and geological phenomena are just some of the different landscapes that can be seen in Death Valley. Be extremely careful if you go alone. Bring water and don't visit during the summer, as the temperatures are very high (over 40 degrees in the shade).
