Death Valley lies chiefly in east-central California. A group of pioneers looking for a short cut to the gold fields of California named Death Valley after they crossed it in 1849.
The Valley is a 156-mile-long trough in east-central California that formed between two mountain ranges, the Amargosa Range on the east and the Panamint Range on the west. The lowest elevation in the Western Hemisphere, 282 feet below sea level, is near Badwater in Death Valley.
During glacial times, a large lake occupied Death Valley. Today, rainfall averages less than two inches a year. The highest temperature ever recorded in the United States, 134˚F, was reported there July 10, 1913. Temperatures in the Valley can range from 130˚F on a summer day to below freezing on a winter night.
Death Valley is home to more than 970 species of vegetation, like the creosote bush, desert holly, and mesquite. Plants have adapted in order to obtain and preserve water or to grow and propagate quickly during the scant rainfalls.
Animals living in the valley are mainly active at night, when the temperature drops quickly. Wildlife includes bobcats, coyotes, foxes, rats, rabbits, and reptiles.
