@gabbettfamilytravels: Summer heat is coming to an end! Fall is the perfect time to visit this national park — Death Valley. Triple-digit temps are dropping, which means one of the most underrated parks in California just became actually hikeable again. We road-tripped it as a family and it’s nothing like the “empty desert” people picture — otherworldly salt flats, sand dunes, colorful canyons, and some of the darkest night skies in the country. 3 things to know before you go: 1️⃣ Fall through spring is the only realistic window for hiking with kids. It’s the hottest place on Earth, with summer temps often exceeds 100 degrees. 2️⃣ Badwater Basin, Dante’s View, Zabriskie Point, and Golden Canyon are must sees! 3️⃣ Bring way more water than you think, even in fall. Temperatures can still be in the 70-80’s. 📌 Save this for your fall national park trip. 💬 Comment “GUIDE” and we’ll send you the link to our full Death Valley travel guide - what to see, logistics, hikes, sample itineraries, & everything you need to plan! ➡️ Don’t forget to follow us @gabbettfamilytravels for more national park inspiration and family-centered travel guides!
