Despite its ghoulish name, Death Valley actually provides a number of lively, breathtaking sites each year. This is best represented within the sprawling national park of the same name that straddles the California-Nevada border.

The National Park Service oversees Death Valley National Park, and the natural wonder holds the distinction of being the largest national park within the contiguous United States. The park also feeds into a number of other well-known sites, including the Mojave Desert.
