Death Valley During Summer

[soloadventurer]

Planning some trips for next year and would it be miserable to check out Death Valley during the summer? I'm thinking July. I've been to Las Vegas in the summertime so I'm aware how hot it does get but has anyone visited Death Valley during peak heat months? I know July is usually the hottest month, and heat-related illness is a very real threat, but I do want to experience Death Valley in all it's desert glory! Any tips are appreciated.

Haha yes i did and its hot But i liked it.

Of course dont hike for hours around Badwater in the middle of the day, but i think everybody knows this.

Don't enter the park with an empty gastank and buy enough water, not for only the same day but some extra for emergencies.

Be carefull with airco use. This can heat the car. But dont be afraid to use it too.

If you have time visit (very) early of late. Then there is beautiful light for pictures and temperatures at the lowest. We hiked aroud 7:00 am but temperatures still around 35 celsius (around 95F)

We liked it very much but take precautions and these things in consideration

PS welcome and nice profile picture!
