Death Valley National Park is a part of Death Valley in the US states of Nevada and California. Death Valley National Park in Nevada is situated in the South East of Sierra Nevada Range in the Great Basin and the Mojave Desert. From the geological perspective, Nevada’s Death Valley National Park is one of the glaring example of Basin and Range configuration. As the location is on the border of California and Nevada, Death Valley is the main feature of Mojave and Colarado Death Biosphere Reserve. Death Valley was once upon a time home to a certain tribal group who were settlers of the valley of a prolonged period. Some of the settlers still live in an area near Furnace Creek. That is why the site had been named as ‘Death Valley.’
