Sights of Death Valley National Park I can't tell you why but I have always wanted to see Death Valley National Park. Established by President Clinton in 1994, Death Valley is the largest National Park in the lower 48. It has more than 3.3 million acres and about 95% is designated wilderness. The list of "unique to Death Valley" is long but a few are: Badwater, the lowest point in the North Hemisphere; 134 degrees, the hottest temperature recorded in the North Hemisphere; and, less than 2-inches of annual rainfall - it is the driest place in the North Hemisphere. For more information about Death Valley and its uniqueness, visit the Park's Visitor Center at Furance Creek. There is a lot to do and see in this Park but our options were limited by having our dogs, Ralf and Dani, with us and the heat. This album has some of the places we visited while the other albums provide a more detailed look at other places visited. Click on a thumbnail to load the full image.
