"Death Valley National Park is exactly what the name implies. It is one of the driest, hottest and most desolate areas in the world, with summer temperatures in the desert region reaching well into triple digits for days and sometimes weeks. The national park, which straddles the California-Nevada border, is one of the lowest in elevation, of all the parks, according to the National Park Service website, and is a land of extremes."
"Desert sunflowers, yellow cups, brittlebush, gravel ghosts and desert five-spot are just some of the wildflowers now in bloom in the lowest regions of the park, including the Badwater Basin at 282 feet below sea level. Blooms are visible from Jubilee Pass, at the southern end of the park, up to Furnace Creek in the north."
"This is the best bloom year since 2016, according to the National Park Service, stopping short of declaring this year's expanse of blooms a superbloom, at least thus far. Superblooms occurred in 2016, 2005, and 1998."
Death Valley National Park, located on the California-Nevada border, is one of the world's driest and hottest regions with summer temperatures exceeding triple digits. Despite extreme conditions and record drought, the park is currently experiencing exceptional wildflower blooms. Desert sunflowers, yellow cups, brittlebush, gravel ghosts, and desert five-spot flowers are blooming throughout low-elevation areas including Badwater Basin at 282 feet below sea level. The bloom extends from Jubilee Pass in the south to Furnace Creek in the north. This represents the best bloom year since 2016, though the National Park Service has not yet declared it a superbloom. Low-elevation flowers will persist through mid-late March, while higher elevations will display blooms from April through June.
