The name "Death Valley" originated in the 1849 when a group of pioneers became lost in the area while attempting to find a shortcut to California during the Gold Rush. Although none of them actually died there, one of the pioneers reportedly exclaimed "Goodbye, Death Valley" as they escaped the harsh terrain. The name reflects the valley's extreme conditions, including intense heat and aridity, which can create a perilous environment for travelers.
