Death Valley National Park is open year-round, as are the Ranch at Death Valley and The Inn at Death Valley.

Death Valley is renowned for being one of the driest and hottest places on earth. During the summer temperatures can be 120°F or over. Evenings generally stay around a comfortable 80°F. We recommend that you wear sunscreen, broad-brimmed hats, and always carry water with you.

It is not until October that the heat starts to die down. During the short winters, the temperature is about 65°-72°F during the day. Nights are colder ranging from the mid 30°s to low 40°s. Death Valley gets less than 2 inches of precipitation a year; if there is any chance of rain, it will occur during the winter. We advise that you watch for a flash flood if it does rain. We advise you to check for current forecasts as the weather can fluctuate.

You may also check National Park Service for additional information related to weather.
