Death Valley National Park - Our Death Valley tours begin at your Las Vegas hotel, where your tour guide will greet and check you in. Once the group is assembled, we embark on the journey to Death Valley National Park. During the drive, you’ll hear commentary about what to expect in Death Valley, along with some local history and trip details. Upon arrival, we’ll stop for a photo opportunity at the welcome sign. Many guests take pictures in front of the sign that marks one of the most extreme environments on earth, known for recording the highest temperature ever. Expect some fun poses like the “I am dead in Death Valley” for your photos!
-
Zabriskie Point - The tour’s first stops are Dante’s View and Zabriskie Point, where you can explore each location independently, taking in the stunning views and unique landscape. The desert floor views from these points are extraordinary. Some will marvel at the vast beauty, while others will explore the area, observing the unique plant life and wildlife. Zabriskie Point, part of the Amargosa Range, is notable for its erosional landscape, formed from the remnants of Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up around five million years ago. Named after Christian Brevoort Zabriskie, a vice-president of the Pacific Borax Company, it offers a unique perspective. Dante’s View, a terrace viewpoint 5,476 feet above the desert floor, is located on the north side of Coffin Peak and provides a dramatic panoramic view of the basin, with several paths leading to the peak.

Devil’s Golf Course - One of our final stops is the “Devil’s Golf Course,” where a brief off-road trip takes us to an area perfect for unique photographs. The jagged salt formations resemble snow on the desert floor. Adventurers can explore the salt-flat, noting the solid and hard formations despite their delicate appearance. After this, we head back to Las Vegas, where our guests bid farewell to new friends and return to their hotels, often discussing how pictures can’t capture Death Valley’s true essence.

Artists Palette - Artist’s Palette is striking due to the array of rock colors, resulting from the oxidation of various metals. Iron salts create red, yellow, and pink hues, while decomposing mica produces green, and manganese results in purple. The Artist Drive Formation was shaped by a violent volcanic period in Death Valley.
-
Furnace Creek Visitor Center - Here, adventurers enjoy lunch, refreshments, and explore the site, purchasing souvenirs to remember their trip. The Visitor Center is a desert oasis with cool areas to relax and take in the sights. Take a photo in front of the sign displaying the world-record temperature of 134 degrees and the current temperature. The Borax exhibit tells the story of the Pacific Borax Company, which mined the borax used in many laundry detergents today. The famous “20 mule team” that transported the borax is still commemorated on “20 Mule Team Borax laundry detergent.”
-
Badwater - Badwater Basin is the lowest elevation point in North America at 282 feet below sea level. Don’t forget to snap a photo of the mountain behind you showing the actual sea level point, giving you a sense of how low you are. Badwater Basin is a salt flat with a vast expanse of pure table salt. Although it often floods, the scorching temperatures quickly evaporate the water, leaving a thicker salt layer each time.
-
Pahrump - Stop in Pahrump for a comfort break on the way back to Las Vegas, enjoying the beautiful drive through the Mojave Desert.
