Death Valley National Park
Death Valley National Park is situated in southeastern California, extending into Nevada. Its 3.3 million acres encompass an area of extreme physiographic diversity. Established as a national monument in 1933, the boundaries were enlarged in 1994 when the park was created as part of the California Desert Protection Act. The area was also designated a Biosphere Reserve in 1984. Now the largest national park in the contiguous 48 states, Death Valley is ecologically part of the Mojave Desert and home to a large variety of plants, including 11 species of cactus, despite its extremely low annual rainfall (1.5 in).
