The most dangerous place I’ve ever visited is inside my head

Me and my friends went hiking in Death Valley many years ago. Didn't know about the mountain lions or black widow spiders, but I remember how paranoid we were about the scorpions and rattlers, although I found out years later that the venom from scorpions and even rattlers isn't actually as deadly as it's often portrayed (although I wouldn't recommend testing that). We had to wear gloves for climbing because of how hot the rocks get, and every once in a while you'd accidentally brush up against a rock and jump from the burn. We each had packs with 3 two liter bottles of water and soda, which we completely drained in the 4-5 hours we were out there. The next day it was like someone tie-dyed our shirts with salt lol.

It was absurdly hot there but, I know it's a cliché but it's kinda true: it's a dry heat so it doesn't feel as unbearable. It's also pretty desolate out there, despite the fame of the area. Roads are quiet, no crowds. The heat keeps people away for the most part. Slept on top of the car that night because we were paranoid about creepy-crawlies on the ground and we were too poor to pay for a place. I remember how amazing the stars were out there.

About 20 years ago my husband and I drove across much of Death Valley in April. The temps by day were in the mid 70s, and we were out the other side before nightfall. Some amazing sights, including Zabriski Point - famous for the movie of the same name. Apparently we had inadvertently picked the perfect time to go. OTOH when we woke up at our motel the next morning it was snowing, and we kept seeing signs that places like the Donner Pass were completely shut down. It was still snowing when we got to Reno, but gradually warmed up a bit. What a long strange trip indeed!😉😁

Been to Death Valley in the middle of winter. Loved it. The sand dunes are incredible and there are hot springs there. Beware: food, drink and gas are very expensive. About double of the usual cost. There is a cafeteria there (it might not be there anymore) and that was outrageous.

He doesn't mention that Death valley cools drastically at night. The real danger with deserts beyond dehydration and sun exposure is not being prepared for the shift in nighttime temperature.

I've been in Death Valley lot's of time's, we did custom landscaping for the rich and famous living in Las Vegas during the 70's, and had a woman who wanted a moving flower bed that would follow the sun's movement each day. So we got old map's of an abandoned silver mine and went to bring up an ore cart and enough steel track to complete the electrically controlled ore cart on a timer including automatic sprinklers. It was hot and hard work but it turned out great.

The most dangerous place I visited was when I was 8 sneaking into my mom's room to steal her phone in the middle of the night to play games

This dude taught me more in 26 minutes then science in 5 years.

You'll die of boredom in Death Valley before heat or dehydration. It's cool to visit, step outside, and go "yup, it's hot, " but after that you realize you just drove 8 hours to look at some baked dirt.

The world is a dangerous place. Yet, it's still beautiful

"The Land God Made in Anger" sounds kinda badass. Also, rather descriptive

The walk to Divers Cove in Laguna Beach, CA. It's on a cliff near Divers cove and the waves and water are such that they took my dog out to sea. She got caught by the wave and sucked under. I saw her nose pointing straight up before she went under. She came back up like 30 seconds later. I've never been so scared in my life. Thank God she was okay. She never liked going into the ocean much after that, but eventually she got into body boarding, so she ( the Dog ) took that up with avid enthusiasm.

I live in Namibia. Skeleton Coast isn’t dangerous. It’s just very dangerous to swim there. It’s actually a popular tourist attraction here and has been turned into a nature reserve. If you’re on skeleton coast you won’t run into any lions, hyenas or leopards.Majority of these animals are kept in wildlife sanctuaries and the rest live in the savannah. If you’re in the Namib desert, it’s better to keep an eye out for snakes and scorpions. Yeah, there are desert lions but they live deeper into the desert; far away from the coast and are rarely seen by people.

Fun fact: if you're still feeling the smell of rotten eggs, then that means you're relatively safe. The hydrogen sulfide will only cause respiratory problems if it's concentrations under 500 ppm, but will result in a fast death if it exceeds 800 ppm. It only keeps its smell up to around 10-15 ppm. Which means that if you're no longer feeling the smell of rotten eggs, that's the time to turn around and hightail it out of there.

113 F and 99% humidity to see some crystals? Sounds like me checking the mail in Texas
