But it’s a dry heat.

We were lucky that we decided to go to Death Valley National Park in early November. It was just above 70 degrees at Badwater Basin which is 282 feet below seal level. The highest temperature recorded here is 134 degrees. This is the lowest point in North America.

The Salt Flats are covered with salt because all of the water has evaporated.
