Very hot, be prepared with lots of water and it is a little pricey. It is the hottest place on earth so do not take chances without water.

We picked up a rental car from Alamo at McCarran Airport at 11am on Saturday morning for a 2 day rental $59 and we drove to Death Valley Junction, visited the Amargosa Opera House and called into their cafe where the Harley Davidson bikers hang out. There is a quaint little hotel there (We had originally booked it but cancelled... More

Death Valley National Park is a very interesting park to visit! There are so many things to visit like Zabriskie Point, Dante's view, Bad Water. Also visit the Visitor Center museum, very interesting

We were there in April and it was 90 degrees, unusually warm for that time of year. From the Badwater... More

It was hot 113º but we drove out to the cinder cones and it was a lot cooler about 85º. The road between panamint and stovepipe it steep and winding.

There are many areas of death valley. Craters, hidden rivers, and more. Make sure you budget your time. We had only planned a half day and really missed out on seeing so much.
