The northern part of Death Valley is a mesmerizing desert landscape, characterized by vast salt flats, sand dunes, and rugged mountain ranges, like the Last Chance Range and the Grapevine Mountains.
In contrast, the nearby White Mountains present a completely different geological experience. Located north of Northern Death Valley, these mountains span across both Nevada and eastern California. The White Mountains are known for their lofty peaks, with White Mountain Peak reaching over 14,000 feet. Glacial activity has carved deep valleys, resulting in stunning landscapes, while alpine meadows and ancient bristlecone pine forests add to the region's allure. The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, home to some of the world's oldest trees, is a testament to the area's enduring natural history.
