Death Valley National Park is open year-round, as are the Ranch at Death Valley and The Inn at Death Valley.

Death Valley is renowned for being one of the driest and hottest places on earth. During the summer temperatures can be 120°F or over. Evenings generally stay around a comfortable 80°F. We recommend that you wear sunscreen, broad-brimmed hats, and always carry water with you.

It is not until October that the heat starts to die down. During the short winters, the temperature is about 65°-72°F during the day. Nights are colder ranging from the mid 30°s to low 40°s. Death Valley gets less than 2 inches of precipitation a year; if there is any chance of rain, it will occur during the winter. We advise that you watch for a flash flood if it does rain. We advise you to check for current forecasts as the weather can fluctuate.

You may also check National Park Service for additional information related to weather.

Cell phone service is available at the resort through most service providers. WiFi is included in the daily resort fee and is available to all registered guests.

Inn guests have access to a small business center located on the second level.

Starting on October 15, 2016, vehicle fees will be $25.  Fees may be paid at Furnace Creek Visitor Center or remote fee-collection locations within the park.

Cancellations do occur; however, they can occur at random with limited success in obtaining the dates and accommodations desired. If your first choice is not available, rather than scheduling your vacation around the possibility of a cancellation, we suggest checking alternate dates instead.

Currently our online reservation system will only allow modifications or cancellations to reservations initially booked online.
