West Coast Summer 2018
I want to take the family (2 sdults, 3 kids aged 1.5, 5, and 10) to the west coast for Summer 2018. Approximately from June 10 - Aug 14, 2018. We want to do the big things like Sequoia, Mt Hood, Death...

I don't think I'd do Death Valley in summer.
Well it's OK to explore from your vehicle, get out and walk around for 5-10 minutes. That's no problem. You do not want to do any protracted hikes or camp in DV at that time. But there are a lot of places to explore in short walks, bitter water, lots of ruins ect. Drive up to Telescope peak and you find it is cool up there.
Since you are so close in LV, I would not skip it. Do what amounts to a drive thru with stops it is well worth the trip. The heat itself is worth experiencing in short sections.
We've been there in June/July a couple of times. The roads are excellent BTW.
