Death Valley is a wonderous place. Lined by towering
mountains on either side, this valley is extremely varied.
From the below sea level salt flats to the top of Telescope
Peak, there exists a diverse and abundant ecosystem
well worth examining.
It can be very HOT in Death Valley during the summer
months, but beginning in the fall, the opportunity to
explore becomes more practical. The winter months can
bring wild fluctuations in temperature. Freezing temperatures
are not uncommon, and so are balmy, sunny days. The
spring months bring the wildflowers, for which the California
deserts are famous for. Any time you visit is a good
time and summer is no exception. The warm nights and
spectacular pre-dawn skies are a must to experience.
Its pristine nature and rare beauty are breathtaking.
Death Valley is abundant with history and culture and
offers an array of exciting adventures, both present
and past.
