WHAT TO SEE IN DEATH VALLEY IN ONE DAY

Let’s forget the name of the park because it is one of the beautiful areas of unique desert wonders. Death Valley is known for being the driest, hottest and 282 feet below sea level… On the other hand; every point is amazing and unique. If you have one day to visit the park, my list is totally for you!

Mesquite Flat Sand 

Mesquite is the largest dune field in the park. The Sand Dune are most photographed landscapes in the Valley. Sands are amazingly soft and nice to walk out with bare foot.

Badwater Basin

Badwater is the lowest place in North America at 282 (86 meters) feet below sea level. It is surreal landscape of vast salt flats so you have a chance to walk out on to. The area usually quite hot..

Artist’s Drive Palette

Artist’s Drive is an 8 mile one-way, nine-mile paved loop. It feels like it was painted by somebody but the truth is the hills painted by the Earth’s natural calcium, copper, manganese, and carbonate. You can view this scene easily on route via the scenic loop. This is a worthwhile side trip!

Zabriskie Point

The most famous viewpoint in Death Valley. It is an easy walk up the hill from the parking area to see spectacular badlands. The colors are beautiful and make you feel in peace!

Devils Golf Course

Devils Golf Course is a flat expanse of sharp salt crystals. An huge expanse of rock salt eroded into jagged spires. If you listen carefully, you may hear the sound of millions of tiny salt crystals exploding as they expand. What a great experience!
