Death Valley – Death Valley, Nevada

Death Valley – Death Valley, Nevada

In 1907 the Death Valley Chukwalla magazine had an ad on April Fools Day that the Death Valley Chamber of Commerce sums up the valley best.  "Would you enjoy a trip to hell?  You Might Enjoy a Trip to Death Valley.  Now!  It has all the advantages of hell without the inconveniences; it is a wonderful country with all the weird mysticism of Dante’s Inferno, marvelous scenery, strange romanticism, fabulous wealth and absolute novelty.  If you would enjoy a change from ordinary city life and fashionable summer resort outings you would find it here.  You would see and learn of things of which you have never dreamed."

Wow, now would that get your attention, particularly in 1907!!  Well it worked, the valley became a place that people wanted to see, and they still do.

Death Valley is the nations’ largest National Park in the lower 48 states. Surrounding Death Valley National Park is nearby Tecopa where one can relax in healing waters that have been used by native people and old timers for thousands of years.  Shoshone Village will seduce you with its charm and historic atmosphere.

Come to Death Valley and explore all there is to see and do!  The community will welcome you making you glad to go to the hottest place in the USA!
