The name of Death Valley is quite morbid, but the contrast between its extremes makes it a home for diverse life. The drastic changes in climate are what make this place so unique and show how animals can adapt to survive here despite all odds against them. In the summer months of May through September, temperatures average over 100°F and can exceed 120°F. However, Death Valley National Park can be safely enjoyed in the summertime with certain precautions taken. Drinking at least a gallon of water throughout the day and more if you're active is an effective way to replace lost fluids, but salty foods or sports drinks are equally important. A unique experience awaits in Death Valley, the lowest elevation point in North America. A short hike to polygon salt formations is worth it for a view of this otherworldly landscape that stretches on forever. After seeing Dante's View, drive a camper van rental to the most famous viewpoint in Death Valley National Park: Zabriskie Point where you'll take in a view of Badlands formations and can either hike or connect trails that lead to Golden Canyon, Gower Gulch and Red Cathedral. The point is especially popular at sunrise and sunset because it offers such spectacular views.
