On the way to Death Valley National Park, your guide will fill you in information into the area’s climate, history, wildlife, and terrain. From its elevation to its temperature, this area is a destination of extremes. A stop at Area 51 Alien Center gives you a chance to collect quirky Area 51-themed souvenirs.
Rhyolite ghost town and Goldwell Open Air Museum are next on the agenda; abandoned long ago with the shells of the town bank and railway station remaining. From Rhyolite, a stop at “Hell’s Gate” reveals a panoramic view of Death Valley National Park.
Thousands of years ago, Badwater Basin was a lake that evaporated, and the saltpans that remain are an unforgettable sight. Here, you'll take photos of the sign showing 282 feet below sea level as the lowest point in the western hemisphere. Your guide will explain how the altitude and terrain affect the weather to make this one of the hottest places on the planet.
On the next stops, you'll visit the historic Oasis at Death Valley built-in 1927, Zabriskie Point, and take an off-road driving tour of 20 Mule Team Canyon to learn the history of mining.
When the day comes to an end and it's time for a return you can share memories and pictures with your family or friends as you adjust to a pleasant ride.
