What To Expect

Death Valley National Park

Embark on an unforgettable Death Valley tour starting from your Las Vegas hotel, where you'll meet your guide and check-in for the day. As you drive to Death Valley National Park, your guide will share insightful commentary on what to expect, local history, and key highlights of the trip. Once you arrive, stop for a fun photo op at the iconic welcome sign, where you can join fellow travelers in capturing memories in one of the hottest places on Earth, known for its extreme temperatures and stunning landscapes.

Zabriskie Point

On your Death Valley tour, you’ll visit Zabriskie Point, a stunning viewpoint in the Amargosa Range known for its unique erosional landscape. Formed by the drying up of Furnace Creek Lake over five million years ago, this area offers breathtaking views of the desert. As you explore, take in the remarkable scenery and keep an eye out for unique plant forms and wildlife that call this extreme environment home.

Dante's View

Visit Dante’s View, a stunning terrace viewpoint located 5,476 feet above the desert floor. Situated on the north side of Coffin Peak, this vantage point offers dramatic panoramic views of Death Valley’s vast landscape. Explore the area on foot, taking in the breathtaking scenery and unique desert wildlife, while marveling at the expansive desert floor below. This remarkable viewpoint is perfect for capturing unforgettable photos of one of the most extreme environments on Earth.

Twenty Mule Team Canyon

Experience breathtaking views of 20 Mule Team Canyon from the iconic Zabriskie Point in Death Valley. This stunning viewpoint offers a unique perspective of the canyon's striking desert landscape, perfect for photography and exploration.

Artists Palette

Artist’s Palette in Death Valley is a striking landscape known for its vibrant array of colors, created by the oxidation of various metals. Red, yellow, and pink hues are the result of iron salts, while green tones come from decomposing mica, and purple shades are formed by manganese. This colorful formation, part of Artist Drive, was shaped by a violent volcanic period in Death Valley, making it a must-see destination for nature lovers and photographers alike.

Furnace Creek Visitor Center

During your Death Valley tour, you'll enjoy lunch, refreshments, and plenty of time to explore the visitor center, a cool oasis in the desert. Capture a photo in front of the iconic sign displaying the world-record temperature of 134°F and learn about the history of the Pacific Borax Company through the Borax exhibit, which details how they mined the element used in laundry detergents today. Don’t miss the “20 Mule Team” exhibit, commemorating the historic mule teams that hauled Borax from the area, now a symbol of the famous “20 Mule Team Borax” laundry detergent.

Badwater

Badwater Basin, located 282 feet below sea level, is the lowest elevation point in North America, offering a unique and awe-inspiring landscape. Be sure to take a photo with the mountain behind you, which marks the actual point of sea level, highlighting just how low you are. This vast salt flat is covered in pure table salt, and while it often experiences flooding, the intense heat quickly evaporates the water, leaving behind a thicker salt crust with every cycle.

Devil's Golf Course

One of your last stops on this Death Valley tour is the "Devil’s Golf Course," where a short off-road excursion leads you to an extraordinary landscape of jagged salt formations, creating one of the most unique photographic opportunities in the world. After exploring the solid yet delicate salt flats, you'll return to Las Vegas, reminiscing about the awe-inspiring beauty of Death Valley. Secure your spot on this unforgettable adventure to one of Earth's most fascinating destinations.

Spectacular scenery. Well organised. Friendly tour guide. You cover a lot of miles but get to see a variety of places. Don’t wear shorts if it is very windy - the sand hurts 😁
