💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •When visiting Death Valley's Moving Rocks, the best times to explore are during the cooler months from October to April, ideally at sunrise or sunset for stunning light. Wear sturdy hiking boots and bring plenty of water, as temperatures can soar during the day, and the terrain can be rough. A wide-brimmed hat and sunscreen are essential for sun protection. For photography, consider a tripod to capture long exposures of the rocks and their trails. Be mindful of the fragile environment—stay on marked paths and avoid touching the rocks. It’s also respectful to keep noise levels down, allowing others to fully experience the serene landscape. Lastly, check for any local regulations or guidelines before your visit to ensure a safe and responsible exploration of this natural wonder.
