Death Valley Virtual Field Trip & Guide

       Enter Field Trip           

A virtual field trip to dozens of our favorite sites in and near Death Valley National Park.  Each site is accurately located using GPS coordinates so you can find the location if you go on your own.  This virtual trip is designed for people with a background of one or two geology courses, although it is hoped that persons with more geologic knowledge but who are unfamiliar with Death Valley will also find it interesting.  Comments are welcome.  Enjoy!
