Death Valley is one of the most inhospitable places on the planet. In this hostile part of nature, you don’t even have to do anything reckless to get into trouble. Sometimes, all it takes is a normal tourist day that runs a little long...
A short walk turns into a longer one, the car feels farther away than it looked, your water disappears faster than you expect, and the heat that seemed “dry and manageable” starts to feel heavy and urgent. Indeed, Death Valley experiences around four deaths every year.
