Anything else I should know before going on this experience?

The best times of year to visit Death Valley for tours is the spring and fall, simply due to the weather and temperatures being less harsh. During these time frames, tours of Death Valley shift from being less of sightseeing tours (summertime) and more of exploration and adventure. Remember that you are visiting one of the hottest places on earth where temperatures can regularly top 120 degrees, which means that you are only able to exit the vans to explore for short periods of time. During the spring and fall, temperatures drop into the seventies and eighties during the day, which allows participants to spend significantly more time outside the air-conditioned vans exploring the topography close-up. You’ll get to experience all of the visuals that have been created by the intense desert heat without experiencing it first-hand, which is something that is only rarely able to be accomplished.
