Death Valley | AllCheapFares

Often overlooked and passed by purely from name association, the 3.4 million acre (14,000 km2) Death Valley National Park is not only the largest park in the continental  USA but arguably one of the most striking specimens of Mother Earth. Nearly every major geological era is elegantly exposed here in what sometimes appears to be one of her greatest tapestries, gloriously presenting her full spectrum.

The valley itself is 130 miles (210 km) long, between six and thirteen miles (10-21 km) wide and is surrounded by steep mountain ranges: the Panamint mountains to the west, and the Black, Funeral, and Grapevine mountains to the east. And its 3 million acres of wilderness and rich cultural history make it a lifetime's work to explore all that the valley has to offer.
