California - Death Valley National Park

The Death Valley National Park, located at the California–Nevada border, east of the Sierra Nevada, is known for its incredible salt flats, wondrous rock formations, and sand dunes. It is the largest national park in the contiguous United States, providing countless places you can go to explore and photograph. Some of them are very popular such as the Badwater Basin filled with interesting geometric salt polygons, Zabriskie Point with its iconic and eerie landscape consisting of rocks and hills, Artists Drive that takes you through open canyons with astonishing rock formations, and last but not least, the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes where the dunes and landscape seem to stretch forever ahead of you.
