💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~10.4 hours of daylight in November — the plan keeps days inside a realistic window.
- The reviewed cooler-season baseline still requires same-day security-advice, checkpoint, desert-road, visibility and site-access checks.
- Light day: day 6 has one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill it — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
