Highlights of the Journey

One of the most iconic features of Death Valley is Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America. Here, you'll have the opportunity to walk on salt flats that stretch as far as the eye can see. As you gaze across the vast expanse, it's hard not to be humbled by the sheer magnitude of nature's power.

For those seeking a challenge, our expert guides will take you on a trek through the mesmerizing Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes. These towering dunes, sculpted by wind and time, offer a surreal landscape that seems straight out of a movie. As you embark on this journey, you'll feel like a true explorer, venturing into an unknown world.

Another must-see attraction is Dante's View, a viewpoint located at an elevation of 5,475 feet (1,669 meters) that offers breathtaking panoramas of the park. From here, you can witness the dramatic contrast between the colorful badlands and the snow-capped peaks of the Panamint Range.

Wildlife Encounters

Death Valley is not only a land of geological wonders but also a sanctuary for a variety of unique wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for desert bighorn sheep, coyotes, kangaroo rats, and if you're lucky, you might even spot a kit fox or a bobcat. Our knowledgeable guides will help you spot these elusive creatures and provide fascinating insights into their behaviors and adaptations to this extreme environment.
