| Death Valley is famous for its very warm, dry and unhospitable climate. I visited Death Valley for the first time in 2001, where I stayed at a very small hostel i Tecopa just south of Death Valley, and the second time in 2007 on a one day trip from Las Vegas. Both trips started in the southend and ended at Zabriskie Point/Dantes View. |  A little outside Death Valley is one of the smallest hostel, I have ever seen - in the middle of the desert, with room for 10. At night you can see the light from Las Vegas, more than 100 km away |
