Things to do / Travel Guide
Except for the green resort oasis of development around Palm Springs, this desolate area has some of the most stark scenery anywhere. As the world's tallest thermometer (in Baker, CA) indicates, Death Valley is one of the hottest spots on earth. The desert solitude, hiking, flora, and rock climbing attract many visitors. Expect blazing sunshine and a unique, desolate landscape.
Travel Tips and Ideas for Planning a Vacation
Some of the region's desert attractions can be explored in day trips from the Palm Springs area, a good base. Death Valley should not be missed. A week should be enough to cover the major sites in the area.
