Death Valley. Worst case scenario, we simply drive through, best case we enjoy an entire day there. Do you see any problems with this plan?
My concern was a Minnesotan with 110 degree heat. At least in the Vegas valley it's a short walk to air conditioning!! Pahrump isn't far away and it sounds like you know what you're getting yourself into. Last time I was in DV it was April and 113.
LOL! I appreciate the special concern for the Minnesotan =)
I am mostly concerned with the altitude changes on the trip, Minnesota is pretty flat. One trip (Glacier National, Yellowstone, Tetons) we were out for over two weeks, it was 90-100F all day and night, we didn't have AC, our oldest was 2. Altitude, sleep deprivation and inability to stay hydrated resulted in bad headaches/migraines for both my wife and I. I think we are older and wiser now, we also have air conditioning.
