Does anybody have advice regarding a nice short "route" in Death Valley that will allow us to get the experience of the place without us having to drive forever in the heat?
We have considered to postpone Death Valley until we leave Las Vegas on our way to Kings Canyon National Park on day 13/14.
We are however not sure how to get from Big Pine if we drive through Nevada instead of California on route 266 to Big Pine. On the map it seems like we have to drive all the way around?
Another option would be to drive to Beatty (Nevada) on 266 and follow 190 to the Death Valley Junction and continue to the hot springs in Tecopa. Then just drive to Tulare as planned. Would be a long driving day, but I guess it would be worth it?
Any advice would be most welcome.
