It is a great park, but I wouldn't recommend it during the hot months. Probably aim for mid November - March, if possible. Otherwise, you may have to stick to night photography to beat the heat.

Cheers!

Hey JP! If I remember correctly, the 2nd and 3rd photos in this post were taken in the morning at the Eureka dunes. I hesitate to tell you an exact hour (I don't have those photos with me, so I can't look it up for you). We camped in front of the Eureka dunes and woke up early when the sun came up just before hiking the dunes. So, a good guess is between 7 and 8 AM. Yes, Death Valley has some impressive salt flats, called Badwater. Not as large as Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni, but impressivie nonetheless. The 4th photo is from standing out in the middle of Badwater at sunset. Unfortunately, we were not at the Racetrack for the best lighting, but do a Google image search for "Death Valley Racetrack"... there are some pretty impressive shots out there. Hope you guys are having (or already had) a great time in Huanchaco - stay in touch. BTW - nice work on your new photography site. Sahweet!
