  1. DEATH VALLEY

  2. WHO LIVED HERE BEFORE??? The Timbisha Shoshone Indians lived here for centuries before the first white man entered the Valley. They hunted and followed seasonal migrations for harvesting of Pinyon Pine Nuts and mesquite beans with their families. The land was considered the sacred land for them.

  3. TEMPERATURE In July, 1913 the heat got up to 129 degrees and on July, 10, 1913 it got up to 134 degrees which was recorded the hottest air temperature in the world. Despite its name a great diversity lives in Death Valley. Death Valley is the hottest, driest, Lowest land which gave it its name.

  4. Rainfall Rainfall in Death Valley averages less than 2 inches a year. There have been some years with no Rainfall at all making it very hotter and drier then usual.

  5. Jobs and camp Mining was popular at death valley. After all of the gold and gems are gone people are gone to. They sent up camp for a few days at a time. The average time people are in death valley is a week.

  6. Twenty Mule Teams For many people, nothing symbolizes Death Valley more than the famous Twenty Mule Teams. These "big teams" pulled massive wagons hauling borax from the Harmony Borax Works near Furnace Creek to the railhead near Mojave, a grueling 165 mile, ten day trip across primitive roads. Although the teams only ran for six years--1883 to 1889--they have made an enduring impression of the Old West. This is primarily due to a successful advertising campaign promoting 20-Mule-Team Borax Soap and the long-running Death Valley Days radio and television program. Today the twenty mule teams are only a fond memory, but you may see two of the last remaining wagons here in Death Valley; one is in front of the Furnace Creek Ranch and the other is at Harmony Borax Works.
