An Interesting National Park
The Death Valley National Park
is a beautiful national park
found in two American States –
Nevada and California. This is
actually found just east of the

The Death Valley National Park is
considered to be an international
Biosphere Reserve and almost 95% of
the entire park is a wilderness area.
Throughout the entire country of
America, this park is actually the
driest and the hottest also. Though
the park does play home to many
different types of species of animals
and plants; and most of these species
have been able to adapt to the very
harsh desert like environment found
in the park. Some animals and plants
that have adapted are the coyote, the
creosote bush, bighorn Sheep and
even the Death Valley Pupfish.

History of the Valley
the Death Valley received its name
because of a group of people who
were trying to find a short cut
through to California’s gold fields.
One of the party died in the Valley
and since it was known as the
Death Valley. Then not long after,
there were many different boom
towns that appeared during the
19th and 20th centuries; though
these were to be short lived towns.
They were set up there so that
people to mine silver and gold,
however there was no profit from
these mining projects.

The Highlights of the Death
Valley National Park
There are two major valleys;
these are the Panamint
Valley and the Death Valley.
They are both amazing to
visit and they are thought
to have been formed only
within a few million years or
so. They are both bounded
by the north south trending
mountain ranges. The
second lowest pint of the
western hemisphere is in
the park – the Badwater
Basin on the Death Valley
floor.
