Death Valley National Park

We keep the lights on.

The only place to rest
in the middle of nowhere.

Death Valley doesn't forgive the unprepared. But for more than a century, Furnace Creek General Store has been the answer to the desert's most basic question: where do I go when the miles get long?

What started as a mining waystation has grown into the sole hotel, restaurant, and supply hub inside Death Valley National Park. No other lodging exists within the park boundaries. When the world's hottest place on record gets too intense, this is where people come to breathe.

We're not a resort. We're a lifeline — with character, history, and a front-row seat to one of the most extraordinary landscapes on the planet.

The most extreme place
on planet Earth.

Death Valley National Park is a land of superlatives — the hottest, driest, lowest, and most beautiful in its own harsh way. From Furnace Creek, you're within minutes of some of the park's most iconic sights.

01

Badwater Basin

282 feet below sea level — the lowest point in North America. A 225-square-mile salt flat that stretches to the horizon, shimmering white under an unforgiving sun.

Dante's View

Perched 5,475 feet above Badwater, this overlook delivers one of the most jaw-dropping panoramic views in all of the American West. Come at sunset.

Zabriskie Point

Pink, gold, and purple badlands carved by water into surreal, otherworldly formations. One of the most photographed spots in the entire park.
