America the Beautiful Pass

If you plan to visit multiple US national parks, it’s worth purchasing the Pass annuale America The Beautiful.
The pass costs US$80 and allows free entry to all national parks, excluding state parks.
The Pass is valid for twelve months starting from the day it is purchased.
The pass can be bought in any information center of any national park and now also online on the official website.
The expense of the pass is amortized even just by visiting three national parks.

For how many days is the entrance ticket valid?

The entrance fee to Death Valley is valid for seven days and allows you to enter and exit the National Park.
The seven days must be consecutive, you cannot leave the park and return a month later to use the same pass (unless you have the America the Beautiful pass).

Is Death Valley also open in summer?

Death Valley is known as one of the hottest and most difficult places in the United States, which is why many believe that in the summer, given the very high temperatures, it can be closed.
I am happy to inform you that the park is open 12 months a yearbut if you travel in the summer months I recommend that you always have plenty of water with you, temperatures can exceed 50 degrees, sunscreen and a hat and it is advisable to avoid sleeping while camping.

The best months to visit Death Valley they are Spring and Autumn.
If you travel in spring during the Spring Break which corresponds to the school holidays around Easter, so the dates vary every year, book your accommodation well in advance because otherwise you risk not finding availability.
