Itinerary and highlights
Depart Las Vegas at 7:00 AM for your day tour to Death Valley. Your first stop is the ghost town of Rhyolite, located at the entrance to the national park. This long-abandoned gold mining community has served as the backdrop for numerous movies and documentaries.
Enjoy stunning views as you drive down a beautiful, winding highway and enter the heart of Death Valley from the east. It feels like stepping into a foreign and surreal world of endless desert, vast valleys, rugged peaks, and uniquely adapted plants and animals shaped over millions of years.
Experience Death Valley, the driest, hottest climate imaginable, an immense and untamed landscape. Take in the sweeping views from Hell’s Gate, high above the valley floor, then descend to Badwater Basin, 282 feet below sea level.
You'll also enjoy scenic stops at Zabriskie Point, the Devil’s Golf Course, Furnace Creek Museum, Salt Lake, the sand dunes, and Artist’s Palette. With majestic mountains, colorful canyons, volcanic craters, and salt pinnacles, this journey is a dream come true for photographers and sightseers alike. For the truly adventurous, this tour is available year-round! You'll have time to explore and snap plenty of photos at each location.

Discover how the salt pinnacles were formed at the Devil’s Golf Course, a surreal and otherworldly landscape. Once part of an ancient salt lake, this area has transformed into one of the strangest and most fascinating spots in Death Valley.
