Death Valley National Park Las Vegas: Review, Tickets & What to Expect
Death Valley National Park is a land of extremes and the largest national park in the contiguous United States, roughly two hours west of Las Vegas. Despite the foreboding name, it's astonishingly beautiful: shimmering salt flats at Badwater Basin (the lowest point in North America), the sculpted badlands of Zabriskie Point, rolling sand dunes and rainbow-streaked hills.
It's also the hottest place on earth in summer, when temperatures can be life-threatening, so spring and autumn are the smart times to visit. A per-vehicle entrance fee applies. Carry ample water, start early, and keep your fuel topped up. Check current fees online.
Insider tipSummer here is dangerously hot — often the hottest place on earth — so spring and autumn are far safer; carry plenty of water, start early, and never rely on a single tank of fuel.Check Tickets & Prices →
