Of all of California’s deserts, Death Valley is arguably the most diverse and interesting for sightseers on holidays to Central California. Death Valley National Park is home to some of the most inhospitable terrain in California, which extreme heat that gives a strange beauty to this desert area. Despite its forbidding name, Death Valley is an attractive area that contains unique desert wonders.
Within this remote valley, a unique landscape of dry parched land, black volcanic fields, colourful hills, salt flats, sand dunes, mountains and a lake that lies below sea level was created. The harsh landscape is characterised by deep valleys and high mountain peaks, with date-palms growing in oases. The flora is rich and particularly noticeable during spring when the wildflowers colourfully burst into life. Explorers can take a drive through the park, stopping at lookouts to hike the short trails, view the ruins of the former industry in the valley, as well as paddle the shallow Badwater Lake if it has any water at that time.
