History

Conservation

Hydrate proactively
Carry 3–4 liters of water per person for a day; heat and wind dehydrate faster than you expect.
Time your driving
Travel early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak heat and get the best light for photography.

Desert temperature swings are large—light, breathable layers for daytime and a warm midlayer for night camps.
