USA ~ Death Valley National Park - California ~

... Today another great National Park view👍... the largest NP in the USA... this park has the hottest (record summer heet), driest  and lowest point in North America... a land of extremes... with valleys, mountains, canyons, salt flats, sand dunes, and oases... Zabriskie Point is a favorite spot for sunrises and sunsets because of how the badlands capture and reflect the golden and reddish colors... Big Thanks once more Andrene!!¯\_(ツ)_/¯  Have a wonderful time🙂...

From backside postcard:
Zabriskie Point is located on Highway 190 near Furnace Creek. The badlands in this area were formed as a result of sediments collecting in a ancient lake bed 5 to 10 million years ago. Erosion and volcanic activity helped to sculpt the formations here, most notable Manlay Beacon (picture on front), name in honor of William H. Manley who was a guide for the 49'ers gold rush of 1849.

Death Valley is a desert valley located in Eastern California, in the northern Mojave Desert bordering the Great Basin Desert. This National Park covers an area of  3.4 million acres and became a national park in 1994.
