In Death Valley, the earth sheds its mantle of green and gives way to fantastic geologic formations with fanciful names like Devil's Golf Course and Badwater. It's the lowest (and hottest) place in the United States, yet its historic National Park lodge, the Furnace Creek Inn offers pamper-me luxury and finer cuisine and service than you might expect in the middle of the desert.
