Death Valley in July?
Hello community,
I just found this forum in the huge WEB and therefore I will introduce myself first:
My name is Lutz and I am a German citizen, currently living in Mexico. Next year in July I will return to Germany and my plan is to travel with my R1200RT, purchased in Mexico, from Mexico via USA to Canada. From Canada I plan to return to Germany by airplane and I would like to ship my motorcycle by air or sea freight from Canada to Germany as well.
Currently, my tour plan is the following: Puebla-Guanajuato-Mazatlán-Baja California-Tijuana-Los Angeles-Death Valley-Las Vegas-Zion National Park-Bryce Canyon-Salt Lake City-Idaho Falls-Yellowstone-Edmonton-Jasper-Banff-Vancouver
Roundabout 8000km/5000miles in approx three weeks!
I am aware that I will pass lots of different climate zones but I am especially concerned about passing the Death Valley in July. It would be nice if you could post your experiences or recommendations. Is it too hot for bike and biker during daylight? Is it better to ride in the night or morning hours? Is it better to think about an alternative route?
Unfortunately, I have only three weeks for the whole tour and every detail needs to be planned in advance.
Best regards,
Lutz
