I was exploring the rocks at Joshua tree once. At high noon(worst possible time), in the summer and alone. After a while no matter which direction or routr I took it was just more rocks or the vast wide open desert. Luckily, I did read stories of how some guy died on a bulletin post somewhere in the park as well as a critical tip about eating lots of salty snacks. I ate up all the chips and pepperoni slices I had and finished all the bottles of water I had. It wasn't too long but eventually I found a parking lot/road. I always wonder what would have happened if I didn't read that post and just drank water. Also, Be careful about driving fast in Death valley, been there. Changing tires with no cell reception, hardly any other cars and 120F temperature is not fun!
