Death Valley National Park in California is world famous for being one of the driest and hottest places on the face of the earth. While there are constantly claims of hotter temperatures being recorded in other places, none deny that Death Valley is consistently one of the hottest. This year, Death Valley set a new record for most consecutive days above 110 degrees, and there s no sign that the record heat will stop any time soon. But while the heat and dryness of the area itself is what makes it famous, you do not necessarily have to experience that record heat in order to experience Death Valley. As a matter of fact, Death Valley is considerably more pleasant to tour in the fall than it is in the summer. Even though we offer tours all year long, the Death Valley tours in fall are the ones when you are going to be able to spend more time outside of the van enjoying the landscape and the climate. As a matter of fact, during the summer we consider our tours of Death Valley to be more "sightseeing tours" because you simply cannot spend enough time outside of the air conditioning to have it be considered an "adventure tour." The entire concept of an adventure tour is to get out into the landscape and explore it, hike around and sense the area first hand. When it is too hot to do that, we have to modify the tours to be more of looking at the landscape for short periods of time then getting back into the climate controlled vehicles. Both types of tours are great, we just prefer the adventure tours more. Death Valley itself is surprisingly alive with plants and animals. You would think that the hottest place on earth
