Missed Your Death Valley National Park Passport Stamp?

Missing a Death Valley National Park Cancellation? You Are Not Alone.

Death Valley National Park Passport Cancellation Stamps

Death Valley National Park has passport cancellation stamps at the Furnace Creek Visitor Center, which is the main hub located in the central valley. Given that Death Valley is the largest national park in the lower 48 states, covering over 3.4 million acres, it is very easy to explore vast sections without passing through Furnace Creek.

A missing national park cancellation from Death Valley often happens to visitors who enter from Scotty's Castle Road to the north, the Panamint Springs area to the west, or the southern Badwater Road entrance. Each of these routes offers spectacular scenery — Ubehebe Crater, Mesquite Flat Dunes, Badwater Basin — without requiring a stop at Furnace Creek. The visitor center also closes by 5 PM, well before the popular sunset photography hours.

About Death Valley

State: California / Nevada · Established: 1994 · Size: 3,408,406 acres · Iconic landmark: Badwater Basin

Death Valley is a land of extremes and the largest national park in the contiguous United States. It holds the record for the hottest air temperature ever reliably measured on Earth, and its Badwater Basin, at 282 feet below sea level, is the lowest point in North America. Yet within this harsh desert lies astonishing variety: rippled sand dunes, salt flats that stretch to the horizon, painted badlands, slot canyons, and snow-capped peaks rising over 11,000 feet. After rare wet winters, the valley floor can erupt in a super bloom of wildflowers. Ancient cultures, borax miners, and Hollywood have all left their mark here. Remote and starkly beautiful, Death Valley offers scenic drives to Zabriskie Point, Dante's View, and Artist's Palette, plus some of the darkest night skies in the country.
