Head to the ‘Oasis’ for Death Valley Wildflowers

Visions of sand dunes, tumbleweeds and brown terrain may come to mind when you think of the desert, but springtime brings color and wonder to Death Valley when some of the most picturesque wildflowers in the U.S. bloom.  While the density of wildflowers varies each year, the fact that wildflowers bloom in this environment defies logic. And, the ideal spot to soak-in the upcoming traditional blooming season is the recently renovated The Oasis at Death Valley, a resort smack in the middle of a true American oasis where waters bubble up from the ground in the middle of a 3 million-acre national park.

According to the National Park Service, Mother Nature is set to give the fields of wildflowers found throughout Death Valley the green light to bloom. With average temperatures of 73 degrees in February, 82 degrees in March, and 90 degrees in April, now is the ideal time to book a trip and explore The Oasis at Death Valley and all the national park has to offer, both during the day and at night. Death Valley, despite its name, is stunningly beautiful, pristine, mesmerizing and full of life if you know where to look.

Only a two-hour drive from Las Vegas and four from Los Angeles, The Oasis at Death Valley is surrounded by towering palm trees and offers a truly relaxing experience on the grounds of the resort’s two recently renovated hotels: the luxurious and historic AAA Four-Diamond Inn at Death Valley and the family-friendly Ranch at Death Valley. This 1920s Hollywood famous resort features warm spring-fed pools (consistently 84.5 degrees), an 18-hole golf course, opulent gardens, cascading waters, a spa, fine dining and some of the best night-sky viewing in the world.
