Learn about the park’s history and ecology at the Furnace Creek Visitor Center, capturing unforgettable photos along the way.

Dante's View

Dante’s View offers one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in Death Valley National Park, standing at 5,475 feet above the desert floor. From this vantage point, you can see Badwater Basin, the Panamint Range, and Telescope Peak, with stunning contrasts between the park’s elevations. It’s a perfect spot for photography, especially at sunrise and sunset, and provides a peaceful experience with beautiful landscapes and fresh mountain air.

Artist's Palette in Death Valley offers a stunning display of vibrant colors, with hills and rock formations in shades of pink, red, yellow, green, and purple, created by the oxidation of metals and minerals. You can explore the area by driving along the scenic loop or taking short walks to get close to the colorful formations. The changing light, particularly at sunrise and sunset, enhances the vivid colors, making it a perfect spot for photography and a unique experience of the park's beauty.

At Zabriskie Point, you’ll witness one of Death Valley’s most iconic views, featuring dramatic badlands with colorful, sculpted ridges and gullies formed from ancient sediment.

I was a little disappointed in this tour to be honest. Apparently tour departure and arrival times vary everyday depending on the mood of the tour guide "mamma." Online, most tours claimed to depart Las Vegas at 12 noon. However, we learned the night before we had to leave by 9am. The itinerary also seems to fluctuate, which is evident in the many reviews on TripAdvisor from passengers who all had different experiences. For starters, "mamma" spent the first part of the trip rapidly talking about her past life in San Francisco and all the tours she's given. Her rapid speech and reckless driving was a little concerning for passengers. There were several times she drove on the wrong side of the road, even when going around turns! She even stopped talking at times to take personal calls. One of the first stops on the tour is a winery at 10:30am. Why we stopped there so early to drink wine was a mystery to the passengers!? The winery portion of this trip only lasted about 1 hour. Honestly, it's a completely unnecessary part of this tour and did not contribute to the Death Valley experience at all. After the winery, "mamma" takes you on winding roads through Death Valley at approx. 100mph with a full belly of wine. Many passengers got sick and complained of her driving, but she laughed it off. She asked, "Do you want me to go 10mph?" in a very sarcastic tone. The first stop inside Death Valley is Dante's Peak. "Mamma" asked us if we wanted to climb a very steep peak to take pictures at an overlook. I glanced over to other members of my group to see if they were interested given their fear of heights. "Mamma" rolled her eyes thinking we were delaying the tour and said we only have "10 seconds" of her time to decide. Needless to say, we had no interest in following her up the peak so we stood in the parking lot and waited on her to conduct a photo shoot with other passengers. Other stops inside Death Valley included Zebribski's Point and Artist's Palette. "Mamma" spent hours yelling at us to keep up while hiking and pose better for her pictures. She was very forceful and demanding during photography. I wish I would have known she planned to take over 1,500 photos of us that day because I would've dressed nicer. By the time we got to Badwater Basin it was completely dark. You do not get a photo in front of the famous sign like advertised in the photos on Tripadvisor. "Mamma" asked us to walk across the salt flats in complete darkness because she claimed her eyes could lead us in the dark better than using flashlights. The stargazing was fun, but only lasted maybe 1.5 hours? We saw a few shooting stars and watched "mamma" spend the majority of the time photographing other members of the tour group. We got 5mins of her time during stargazing for photos. She could tell my party was pretty disappointed in the tour, so I think she was avoiding us at this point. The only reason I gave this tour 2 stars is because of the experience my family had in the national park when "mamma" wasn't around . I would like to return to this park in the future with a different tour company. In the future, I would rather have a respectful tour guide that drove safely. The photos we received of my family looking sweaty after hours of hiking was not worth the trouble of dealing with "mamma."

The Death Valley VIP tour in January was one of the coolest tours I have been on and I would definitely attribute it to our tour guide, Lankun (aka Mama). Mama was knowledgeable, entertaining, organized, and took beautiful photos of my family, which I really appreciated because a selfie stick just could not do this landscape justice. We had plenty of water to drink along the way as we went to 5 different look views in the park, Dante’s peak, Zabriskie point (badlands), Artists Palette, Badwater Basin and a final stop to gaze at the stars (we saw the Milky Way). I would absolutely recommend booking this tour while staying in Vegas, because the views are magnificent and this truly a one of kind experience.
