Special Considerations

Death Valley is generally sunny, dry, and clear throughout the year. The winters are mild with occasional winter storms, but summers are extremely hot and dry. Summer high temperatures commonly run above 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Comfortable clothing providing sun protection and a broad brimmed hat are strongly recommended in summer. Winter requires warmer clothing and light to medium jackets. Sturdy walking shoes are important year-round.
