My brother-in-law mentioned his visit to Death Valley during the Christmas visit-otherwise we would not have thought about stopping en route to Southern California. Desperately needing a break from the Las Vegas City lights, we arrived just before the Park office closed for the night.
Most of the campgrounds in Death Valley provide access to a water source and bathroom facilities but there are no direct hookups for power. Fortunately, there is plenty of sun and our solar panels performed admirably.
Although temperatures regularly rise past 115 degrees in the summer, we enjoyed 45 degree nights and mid-70s during the day. Although it is comfortable in the more open areas, the narrow canyons increase the temperature substantially, and we discovered it is better to hike a little earlier in the morning.
