How did Death Valley Get Its Name? I've got the full story for you here on this week's video. Which, I know I said I wouldn't have a video out this week, but you guys deserve nice things, so I worked hard to get this video out about the origins of the name, "Death Valley."

This is the story of the Lost '49ers, who left their eternal mark on this National Park by gracing it with a name that best fit the horrendous ordeal they experienced there. Enjoy!
