We will pick you up in the morning for a 2.5-hour journey to Death Valley National Park, the largest national park in the U.S. Our tour includes three iconic stops: the Park High Point for panoramic views, Badwater Basin - the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere, and the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes for a walk through stunning white dunes.
Death Valley, CA
Death Valley is a region of the Mojave Desert which has the distinction of being the lowest and driest area of North America. The hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth, occurred here.
Artist's Palette
Tucked behind an unassuming yellow landscape, the rainbow of Artists Palette is the highlight along the Artists Drive Scenic Loop. Here, visitors marvel at an array of colors (red, orange, yellow, blue, pink, and green), splashed across the hills. These colors are from volcanic deposits rich in compounds such as iron oxides and chlorite, which creates a rainbow effect.
Duration: Approx. 30 Minutes
Badwater Basin
This barren basin in the heart of Death Valley National Park has an elevation of 282 feet below sea level, making it the lowest point in North America.
Duration: Approx. 1 Hour
Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes
The Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes are at the northern end of the valley floor and
are nearly surrounded by mountains on all sides. Due to their easy access from
the road and the overall proximity of Death Valley to Hollywood, these dunes
have been used to film sand dune scenes for several movies.
Duration: Approx. 1 Hour
