Worth visiting!
Why I recommend this place to visitors
I never knew this place was going to be as colorful and vibrant as it was; there was color and texture everywhere. We drove into Death Valley on our way to Anaheim; we didn’t stay in the park but the drive through and photographs were amazing!

A review of this place: So worth seeing
This place reminded me so much of all the footage of Afganistan that you see on TV. Bleak rocky mountains surround the valley, points of which lie more than 200 feet below sea level. The whole drive through was fascinating, and badwater was impressive, with its wide flat salt field. Also, don’t miss the sideroad to see the palette, the rocks are a dozen different colors, very neat to see.

And when you trace the whole history, you can imagine a host of other four-letter words shouted by teamsters who drove the 20-mule-team borax wagons. Americans looking for gold in California's mountains in 1849 were forced to cross the burning sands to avoid severe snowstorms in the nearby Sierra Nevada. Some perished along the way, and the land became known as Death Valley.
