Quite a scenic picture. The Valley of Death has so little shade, at least the one time I went through, this must have been a rare occurence. So how hot was it?

The shade was thanks to it being 7:30 am on the first of May, and having a mile-high mountain right behind where I am stood.

We had pleasant temperatures during our visit to Death Valley; highs (according to my VFR) were ~34℃ / 93℉, and 19/66° around 7:30 am.

Atop 1660m/5500' Dante's View the morning before it was barely 7/45°.
