Hotest place on earth

Death Valley National Park is one of the most surreal and otherworldly places in the U.S. The landscapes are absolutely stunning — from salt flats that stretch for miles to colorful hills, deep canyons, and dramatic sand dunes. Highlights like Zabriskie Point, Dante’s View, and Badwater Basin offer unforgettable views that feel like they’re from another planet.

We especially loved exploring the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes at sunset and watching the light change across the desert. Artist’s Palette, with its rainbow-colored hills, was also a must-see.

However, this is not a place to visit in the summer. Temperatures can soar above 120°F (49°C), making even short walks dangerous. The heat is extreme, and there’s very little shade anywhere. It’s better to visit in cooler months — late fall through early spring — when you can safely enjoy hiking and sightseeing.

If you go, be prepared: fill up on gas, bring more water than you think you need, and don’t rely on cell service or GPS. Death Valley is remote, wild, and beautiful — but it demands respect.

In the right season, it’s an unforgettable trip. But skip the summer unless you want to experience the hottest place on Earth at its peak.
