From the publisher:
The largest national park in the contiguous United States, Death Valley protects more than 5,000 square miles of the Mojave Desert—93% of which is federally designated wilderness encompassing land between the Amargosa Range to the east, the Panamint Range to the west, and beyond.
Death Valley is one of the world's hottest, driest and lowest places. Badwater Basin salt flats are among the largest protected salt flats in the world and include the lowest elevation on the North American continent at 282 feet below sea level. A land of extremes, Death Valley National Park is more than its summer heat records, featuring spring-fed desert oases, wind-blown rolling sand dunes, snow-frosted winter peaks and stunning wildflower blooms after rare spring rains.
