Bring plenty of water
Desert conditions can be dehydrating, so always carry more water than you think you'll need.

The terrain can be rough and sandy; make sure your rental vehicle has adequate clearance for off-road conditions.
Download offline maps
Cell service can be unreliable—use the provided GPS, but having offline maps as backup is smart.
Wear sun protection
The desert sun is intense; sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses are a must-have.
