Walk the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes near Stovepipe Wells to experience shifting patterns, photo-worthy ridgelines, and early-morning solitude.

Fun Facts

Death Valley is the hottest and driest national park in the United States, once recording 134°F at Furnace Creek in 1913.
The valley floor sits below sea level, yet Telescope Peak nearby rises more than 11,000 feet, creating extreme elevation contrast.
The park covers over 3.4 million acres, making it the largest national park in the contiguous United States.
Despite its name, Death Valley supports over 1,000 plant species, including desert wildflowers that blanket the basin during rare “super blooms.”
