8) Death Valley National Park
If you want to see fascinating natural wonders, head to Death Valley National Park. This national park is home to the lowest point in North America, and it also has some of the hottest and driest temperatures in the country. These extreme conditions have led to some amazing natural scenery. This includes Badwater Basin, the lowest point in the park. The basin is 282 feet below sea level, and is home to stunning and surreal salt flats. You also won’t want to miss the Devil’s Golf Course, a large area that’s full of rock salt that’s been eroded by wind and rain. To get even more breathing views, be sure to take a drive through Artist’s Drive. This 9-mile road winds through volcanic and sedimentary hills that feature stunning natural colors. Visiting Death Valley National Park is truly a one-in-a-lifetime experience.
