Death Valley National Park

Introduction

    Death Valley, the highest, driest, and lowest in a wild land that man has never
tamed with floors of sand and harshly sculpted mountains with a climate so hot it
is imaginable. Be careful of all the dangerous predators throughout the park
though.


History

   Death Valley got its name from many gold seekers or pioneers who died
crossing the valley during the gold rush in 1849. Soon Death Valley was
established as a National Monument in 1933. President Herbert Hoover
proclaimed Death Valley as a monument dated February 11, 1933. Finally Death
Valley was established as a National Park in 1994. They made it a park from how
low the valley is (550square miles) or (1425km) below sea level.


Animals and Plants

   In the park of Death Valley there are over 900 different species of plant. Some
famous cactus are cholla, cottontop, calico, and mound. Eleven species of cactus
remain in the park of Death Valley. A popular mammal in Death Valley is the
desert bighorn. They prefer rugged mountain slopes to protect them from
predators like the coyote, kit fox, gray fox, badger, mountain lion, and bobcat.
The famous bird is the roadrunner that feeds on lizards like the sindwinders. The
most famous animal or reptile though is the tortoises turtle that is hard to spot.


Culture

   Scotty's Castle or Ranch stands as a monument in Death Valley. In the Castle
is a secret gold mine that today people have discovered. The question is was this
once a ghost town? Native Americans have also lived in Death Valley for around
1000 years.


Challenges Faced

   The most frequent challenge today in Death Valley is how dry and hot it is.
Summers are extremely hot and dry with an average temperature of 120 degrees
Fahrenheit. The highest ever recorded was 134 degrees Fahrenheit. Death Valley
also has the world's highest evaporation. The highest average rainfall was 4.5
inches. Once too Death Valley was a floor of water or lake. It covers
3.337.628.88 acres of land through the states of Nevada and California. The way
it turned into a valley was when it sunk during the Miocene Expoch over 25
million years ago.


Conclusion

   Death Valley is not just a park but was once a monument and brings rivers of
people to here. Almost everyone who came found treasure in the park. This is one
very hot land so wear clothes summer style if you come and visit the hottest,
driest, and lowest in the United States.
