Think you need to travel all over the world to experience gorgeous, awe-inspiring natural beauty? Think again!

I love the U.S. national parks, and there are so many to explore. The park with the most ominous name is Death Valley National Park, a land of harsh extremes, but one of gorgeous beauty in a vast landscape between California and Nevada.

March is a good time to go…it will be hot (80 degrees+ Fahrenheit), and far more tolerable than the mid summer heat.

There are badlands, sand dunes, and views of snow covered peaks. Check out this inspiring video I stumbled upon that captures much of Death Valley’s natural beauty!
