Death valley doesn’t involve much walking if you don’t want to. There are scenic overlooks as you drive into the valley, and a few places where you can get out of the car. When I went, it wasn’t summer yet, but it was still too hot to walk around safely for any extended period. We went to the lowest point, where the salt barrens stretch away. It was eerie looking out at a landscape so alien with stark cliffs towering behind. We also got lucky because it was late spring and the valley had gotten rain, which made everything bloom in the parts where we drove into the park. I just remember the stark beauty of it all.
