Death Valley’s Deadly Delights | Ottawa News

A French tourist, 68, died in Death Valley after his vehicle got stuck in mud—his companion survived thanks to timely help, but Formosa didn’t make it. The park warns: Death Valley’s beauty hides deadly risks—extreme heat, isolation, and no cell service mean help can take hours. Always plan routes, check conditions, share your itinerary, pack at least one gallon of water per person daily, and match your vehicle to the terrain. If stranded, stay with your car for safety. And yes—even the sand can scorch your feet: a Belgian visitor suffered burns last month walking barefoot on dunes hotter than 90°C.
