Many people traveling to the American Southwest want to experience one of the harshest climates on the face of the earth, and put a Death Valley tour on their calendar. Even though a tour of Death Valley under the right circumstances is a wonderful experience filled with some of the most exquisite scenery you will ever experience, visitors must realize that the area itself can be dangerous if you attempt to explore it yourself without a qualified guide who knows the area. Last year, a news story surfaced about a family who ventured into Death Valley with only a few bottles of water and a GPS system, only to find that many of the roads that the GPS listed were not actually there, and much of the information was incorrect. They ended up running out of gas deep inside the territory, and did manage to be located by the California police in the nick of time. The lesson to be learned from their experience is that Death Valley is not to be taken lightly, it is a very large expanse of unpopulated area that is also home to a climate that can literally kill you in a short period of time. Exploring it on your own without experience with the area can prove to be a grave mistake if you get lost or are unprepared.
Death Valley is home to the highest temperature that has ever been recorded on Earth. If you embark on a Death Valley tour during the summer months, you can expect to be exposed to a level of heat that you probably are not prepared for. Once the temperature is over 100 degrees, the relentless sun can cause visitors to become light headed, confused and dehydrated very quickly. It is important to understand why the landscape looks so dry and barren, because it is difficult for life to exist here. As a visitor to this climate, respect for what it can do is important in order to remain safe.
