You don't go to Death Valley looking for great food. You come for the hiking and the fantastic views . The scenery is like no other place you have been. You will find desert, trees , volcanic remains.

Aldous Noah

Don’t miss Badwater Basin , Dante’s View , Mesquite Sand Dunes , Zabriskie Point , and Devil’s Golf Course . Scotty’s Castle is closed ‘till 2020 due to flood damage.

Andy Brodhag

Words and pictures can't do justice... Mysterious and gorgeous DV has a powerful, unique energy and is comparable to no place I've ever been. Quiet your mind, just feel, and listen with your soul

Hanna Avlas

We visited Death Valley at the end of February, when the weather was quite comfortable , but it was here when in summer 1913 the world's absolute hottest temperature of 56.7°C was recorded. ????

Totally worth driving through the best spots in Death Valley early AM (enter the park before 6am in the summer to avoid super heat starting as of 10am) - rent a convertible to do that - priceless!!!

Plan your visit! There is far too many things to see. Devote at least some time to walking.

Michael Dow

Come early to see the Milky Way and stay for the sunrise. Explore early while it’s cool with a full tank and supplies. Watch for wildlife .

Mari

One of my favorite national parks with extremely diverse terrain to explore.

Kay Patterson

This place is incredibly beautiful, but so...very...hot. Wear protective clothing , a hat and don't forget to take lots of photos! Bad water basin is amazing!!!

Josh B

Go in November. Hardly any tourists & much lower temperatures. Be sure to still bring plenty of water & snacks . Watch you gas & temperature gauge in your car & be cautious of running the A/C too long.

Lizette Sanchez

Beautiful place when the weather won't kill you. Always have plenty of water at all times.

Chris Muñoz

Stay hydrated! Be sure to bring plenty of water! The heat is a killer, literally!

Scott R.

Cycling from Furnace Creek to Dante's View is fantastic but not for those out-of-shape. 40+ miles round trip. Don't forget a windbreaker for the descent. 15 degrees colder at the top.

Andrew Galdi

Feb/March is a great time for wildflowers ! Take a day to drive around and see the sights. The dunes are awesome!

Mo

Make sure you have gas and water before you make this trip. They call it Death Valley for a reason.

Madame No Name

Visit the information office and take a map with the important and popular places... It's very hot, take water with you. Amazing views ...

Alberto J S Moreau D

I liked but I was expecting more based on all ads and its size, it has many closed parts, not well signed, restrooms on the road really dirty and full of flys, need to see Red Rock Canyon to improve

Island Bruin

Hottest, driest, lowest national park . Make sure to see sunrise and sunset off the mountains

maurice gaston

December here is awesome. Shortened days are made up for by the pleasant weather. Also (oddly) less crowded . Start your day early.

Pelin Güvenç Kefel

Very interesting place, if you have a chance to see the super bloom go see it now! ????

KalininaKote

The best time to visit this park is evening, but it still hot. Or before sunrise.

Ryan Saffell

You might think it's a barren wasteland, but bring a camera . Amazing rock formations to be seen.

Hanna Avlas

If you're as lucky as we were, you might also encounter coyotes on the roads .

Tony Ravnik

If you go to the racetrack please don't take the rocks home, they only have value where they are at. You will soon bore of them at home.

eric bornemann

So much to explore and beyond incredible when flowers are in bloom.

Ken M

The scenery looks (literally) out of this world. In summer take plenty water and sun protection. Zabriskie Point , Badwater, Artists Palette and Ubehebe Crater are places not to miss.

Drea Castro

PAnamint springs is a great place to stay in the summer - it's cooler than the valley!! :) campgrounds have a nice view and usually isn't crowded

While driving, keep your speed down. The number one cause of Death in Death Valley is single-car rollovers. Be prepared with this free emergency app from the Red Cross. Read more

Make sure you're around Mosaic Canyons, Sand Dunes , and Bad Water Basin. Views and overlooks cool, too.

The Race Track is awesome - food is expensive - Rangers and Employees are all very nice!

Janne Kaasalainen

Make sure you visit this place during the summer. Winter might give you a far-too cheerful experience.

Bérenger

It's amazing here. But be prepare to drive a lot. The park is so large!

خورخ دانيال مركض لوترن

A beautiful Park with awesome dry desert sand scenery

Hot hot hot stay at the ranch instead of the nps campsite same price but with wifi showers and a pool.

Take the extra 15 minutes to navigate "Artist Drive " for some of the most spectacular views of Death Valley.

Victoria Lamina

At night there're amazing stars in the sky! So beautiful and exciting

Do the racetrack in February...that way your tires don't go pop!

Mohith Maratt

Surreal sceneries!

Peter van Kampen

Go to Dante's view , the view is breathtaking

Car enthusiasts: In the hot months manufacturers take their cars here for hot-weather testing. Look out for them taking a break in the car park at Furnace Creek .

David VanWormer

Free open wifi at Stovepipe Wells gift shop . Check in before your iphone overheats!

Melanie Martin

Zabriskie Point is a must see!
