One of the hottest places on Earth; Death Valley. Appropriately, the Indian word for Death Valley is "Tomesha" which simply means "ground afire" - which is indeed true! In 1849, a group of immigrants looking for a shortcut to California's Gold Country led ox-drawn wagons over the ridges of the great basin and down into the valley's salt beads. After weeks of searching for a way out (losing one of their party in the process) the group eventually stumbled (literally) across a western exit. Looking back at the stark landscape, one of the travelers exclaimed, "Goodbye Death Valley"; thus naming the area for posterity. BE WARNED: TAKE PLENTY OF WATER (for you and your car!)
Look out fot the Ghost Towns eg. Darwin, when passing through Death Valley!
