Visiting Death Valley is like landing on another planet.  A planet that is filled with extremes.  Death Valley is the driest, hottest and lowest of the National Parks in the United States. However, despite its name, if you are well prepared, not only will you survive, but you will witness amazing scenery. We visited Death Valley in one day from Las Vegas and it was a day to remember.

Located just 2 hours west of Las Vegas, Death Valley makes for a fantastic day trip. And if planned right you can see 10 incredible sites all in one day and live to tell the tale.  So follow my itinerary below to discover ghost towns, sand dunes, canyons, natural arches, salt flats, badlands and more. Learn how to experience Death Valley in one day.
