What To Expect

Rhyolite

Depart Las Vegas at 7am for your day tour to Death Valley. Your first stop will be the ghost town of Rhyolite, at the entrance to the National Park. This long abandoned gold mining community has been used as the set for many movies and documentaries.

Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes

Enjoy the views on an amazing drive down a beautiful winding highway and enter the center of Death Valley from the east; this is like entering a foreign and strange world of endless desert, vast valleys, harshly sculpted peaks and superbly adapted plants and animals formed over millions of years.

Furnace Creek Visitor Center

Death Valley, the driest, hottest climate imaginable is an immense, wild land that man has never tamed. Capture the view of the valley from Hell’s Gate, well above the valley floor and then visit Badwater at 282 feet below sea level.

Badwater

You will also enjoy views and stops at Zabriskie’s Point, the Devil’s Golf Course, the Furnace Creek Museum, the Salt Lake, the Sand Dunes and Artists Pallet. The majestic mountains, colorful canyons, volcanic craters and salt pinnacles all make this trip a photographic-sightseers dream come true. For the truly adventurous, this tour is offered your-round! We stop at all these locations for a little exploration and lots of photos.

Artists Palette

You'll be amazed at beautiful drive thru Artists Palate and photo stops

Devil's Golf Course

Discover how the salt panicles were formed at the the Devils Golf Course. This is part of the salt lake that became a very strange place indeed.

Zabriskie Point

You'll love the views from Zabriskie's Point overlooking the valley. Take a small hike to see one of Death Valley's most inspiring views!

Well... what you see is a salt lake between 1,500-1,800 m thick according to test drilling. When I was there, just 39-40 degrees Celsius... it was hotter with 45 degrees Celsius in Phoenix. Whether to do so from Las Vegas 2.5 hours. Ride one way must accept...???? You can experience more in Las Vegas with this time.

Hi, I'm puzzled at your review. I guess you expected it to be hotter. A few people have died out there this year, wanting to be there in the dangerously extreme heat. We don't take people there when it's that hot. I suggest you rent a car but take lots of water with you. Good luck, Will
