I was planning on being in Death Valley 5 full days, Feb. 7 - Feb. 11 (leaving Feb. 12). After reading about possible (likely?) road restrictions, I'm wondering if I shouldn't cut back to just 3 days in DV and maybe go to Souther climes (Anza Borrego?) instead for a couple of days and return in the summer to do the Racetrack, Point Aguerreberry, Saline Valley, etc.?

Thanks for your thoughts on this!!

What would the Lone Pine (Alabama Hills) area be like in Feb.?
