Your Death Valley survival guide 🌵⬇️ 📌 Save this for your future USA adventures or share it with a desert-loving mate! I visited Death Valley National Park during a California road trip and was blown away by how alien and extreme the landscape felt. Exploring salt flats below sea level and golden canyons at sunrise really make it feel like one of the most surreal places I’ve ever explored. 📅 Visit between November and March—temps are *mostly* mild (20–25°C) and the crowds are way smaller. 🚗 A car is essential! I based myself in the Furnace Creek Campground and did day trips to Zabriskie Point, Badwater Basin, and Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes. ☀️ Top tips: – Start early to avoid the heat – Bring way more water than you think you need – Mobile signal is patchy, so download maps offline – Don’t skip Artist’s Palette at sunset—it’s magic 🎨 Follow @getlostwithliam for more wild, unforgettable places to add to your bucket list 🌍 #roadtripusa #visitcalifornia #travelamerica #beautifuldestinations #placestovisit
