Death Valley in eastern California holds records for being the lowest place in North America and the hottest place on earth. In July 2018, the national park reached highs of 127 degrees Fahrenheit four days in a row. So why would anybody visit such a hellish place? Despite its ominous name, Death Valley is full of beautiful landscapes, history, and fun things to do outdoors. But we recommend going in winter when the average temperatures are in the 60s and 70s with a low of around 40 degrees. Here are a few of the places you might want to stop on a Death Valley road trip.
