Never been? There's sooo much to see and do. It is the largest NP in the lower 48.Any trips planned?
Maybe death valley mid-week? Never been. Weather looks decent.

If you like hot springs be sure to check out the warm springs at Saline Valley in DV, the middle springs there had great camping spots and a very mellow older crowd when we were there in November (PS - most folks were naked when basking in the pools...) Such a neat place though with immaculately clean restrooms, spectacular scenery and occasional low altitude high speed jet passes which are neat if not a little noisy... Warm spring camp at the southern end of Panamint was nice as well with no people at all in November. I'd go back to DV in a heartbeat if not for the blown head gasket I'm dealing with at the moment...Yes I know and pretty much right in our backyard.

Nah it's a dry heat. Actually it's quite comfortable with the breeze. Bad Water may be warmer.Updated weather. What do you guys think? Too hot?
We may try to start Monday at Furnace Creek, and make our way north over the next few days, hopefully end up at higher elevation by Thursday.

If you do the Artists Palette drive it's best seen early or around sunset otherwise the sun blows out the colors. Charcoal Kilns is another interesting sight, bit out of the way but still interesting. Points of interest are not close together so fuel planning is wise. I'd fuel in Shoshone then stretch to Stovepipe or Beatty prior to doing Titus Canyon. If you decide to go over mountain to Lone Pine a stop at Father Crowley Pt. may reward you with entertainment at Star Wars Canyon by our military aircraft. The Visitors Center at Furnace Creek has a tremendous amount of info /history about the park.Thanks for the recommendations. I will look at these on the map and get my bearings.
Forgot to mention, we should have at least two vehicles.
That reminds me, I need to find the list of DV repeaters I saved a couple years ago.

An F/A18E crashed there at Father Crowley Pt about two years ago, injuring several French tourists who were there watching for planes...Thanks. I have been getting Mach loop videos in my YouTube feed, so wanted to check out the US equivalent.
