OP here.
Thanks for the advice. We will be traveling this in late June. And we are not pressed for time.
So would I be stupid to go through Death Valley in late June? If I'm going from Tuolumne to Las Vagas. it could be a great time to mark off another NP. Just driving through. It looks like I could go 395 to 136 / 190. All comments appreciated.
Death Valley is going to be ridiculously hot in late June - often 110+ and sometimes 115+. And the grade from 395 into Death Valley on 190 is a 9% grade - hot engine on the climb, and hot brakes on the descent.
I've done it, and I would be very hesitant when it's that hot.
