People travel long distances by road. During this time, there are many turns, crossroads, villages, towns and cities on the way. If you are told that you have to travel a 200 kilometer long journey, but there will be no place to stay, eat or turn on the way, then what will you think? Death Valley is near California in the southwest of Nevada state of America. A 200 kilometer long straight road passed through Death Valley itself. It is considered to be the hottest region of the world and humans are not visible far and wide here.
Road visible even from space
Before traveling on a 200 kilometer long road with no turns, one has to buy and keep food items for oneself. Since there is not a single turn on the road, the road can be seen even from space. There is no speed limit while traveling on this road, but if the vehicle breaks down on this dry road, it can be a big problem because the normal temperature here remains above 50 degrees. There are many reasons for it being hot. There is less rainfall here because the dry winds rising from the Pacific Ocean become hot by the time they reach here. Due to this area being much below sea level, there is more heat here.
Entry fee has to be paid to pass through Death Valley
To pass through Death Valley National Park you have to pay an entry fee. Its amount is around 30 to 40 dollars. Apart from this, there is Badwater Basin, in which a lot of salt is visible, but the government has imposed a fine of about 5000 dollars for removing it. You will see amazing views of nature in Death Valley, but due to high temperature here there is lack of water in the body. According to the report, the temperature here had reached 89 degrees Celsius on July 15, 1972.
The US government declared it a national monument in 1993.
The length of Death Valley is 225 kilometers and width is 8 to 14 km. This width keeps increasing and decreasing automatically. When scientists did research here, they found skeletons of many humans and animals. After this, the American government made it a national monument in 1933 in memory of the people who died in Death Valley.
