With elevations ranging from 282 feet below sea level to 11,049 feet, a world-famous climate, and some of the most spectacular scenery in the North American desert, Death Valley National Park is a year-round hiker's paradise.

Illustrated with original topographic maps, Hiking Death Valley by Michel Digonnet guides you to the area's most popular sites and many spectacular, out-of-the-way places, demonstrating the remarkable diversity of its terrain, geology, flora, and fauna. Many of the region's historic mines, camps, and ghost towns are also described, including accounts of their fascinating and colorful past.
