Death Valley in May
We have an opportunity to visit Death Valley National Park in mid-May. Is it likely to be too hot by then?

I think it is too late to really enjoy the Park. You can head for the upper elevations and do your outdoor activites in the early morning. I like Feb best, but have had trips in March when it was too hot. There is little shade and no water. It is a rigorous environment in winter, but by May you are in serious summer conditions. You can die out there. It is no joke. The other point is that it does not cool off. It can be 75-80 as a low temperature for the day. There is no relief.
