Desert Destination’s Climate Patterns Make Winter the Best Time to Visit

Many people in the United States have already experienced the first chill of winter. This is even true in Death Valley National Park, one of the world’s hottest places. The chill Death Valley visitors feel in winter is not caused by temperature drops, rather by the breathtaking beauty of the pristine desert, enjoyed during the season with the most moderate temperatures of the year – the winter season.

Winter is the most popular time of the year to visit this strange and quietly beautiful California park, particularly during the months of January and February. With 3.3 million acres, Death Valley is the largest national park in the continental U.S. Compared to other major national parks, however, it has relatively low visitation, with only 902,723 people visiting in 2008.
