We have wanted to go to Death Valley for a while now but never made a plan until recently. We were in Las Vegas a few weeks ago and decided to head to Death Valley before going back to Los Angeles. It takes only an extra 2 hours from Las Vegas. The drive back to Los Angeles from the National Park is also about 4 hours. 

I recommend going on Death Valley's official website before heading over. The website is handy for directions, weather, and how to get around the park. We went during a heatwave, so hiking was definitely not an option. I found this link on their website that lists the areas in the park that are "accessible by car or a short stroll." Although we started the day a little late and could not visit all the places listed on this link, we were still able to visit most of the places I wanted to see. Here are some of our photos! 

**TIP: Bring lots of water with you! We brought about 5 large bottles of water, and we finished them within just a few hours of being at the Park! 

Dante's View was our first stop, I don't know who this Dante is, but I definitively like the view, hahaha. 

Our next stop was the Zabriskie Point. The view was awe-inspiring. We saw a little kid (with his parents watching) go down the point platform. It looked really cool.

Our last stop was a must for me, the Badwater Basin. A Salt Flat is 282 feet (86 meters) below sea level, making it the lowest point in North America.

We stayed until the sunset. It was stunning.
