From peaks to salt flats to amazing colors, Death Valley has many faces. Along with the legendary landscape, there is a long and lively human history that brings personality and reality to the region. On this guided, full-day trip from Las Vegas, learn about the early pioneer explorers, Scotty’s Castle, and borax mining, and make stops at the Artist's Palette and Zabriskie Point badlands. Round-trip transportation, snacks, bottled water, and lunch are included.
After a pickup from a Las Vegas hotel, set out to one of the hottest places in the world — Death Valley. Sometimes referred to as 'Mars on Earth,' the amazing diversity of this park is often unappreciated.
Spend approximately four hours in the park. Stop at the Badwater Salt Flats, which marks the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere at approximately 280 feet below sea level. The Badwater Salt Flats also boasts the hottest recorded temperatures on earth, taken in 1913.
Next, tour the Borax Museum at Furnace Creek Ranch, the oldest structure in Death Valley. Also, make photo stops at the Artist's Palette and the Zabriskie Point badlands. Views of Twenty Mule Team Canyon and the Funeral and Black Mountain Ranges will round out the tour.
On the return trip to Las Vegas, journey through Death Valley Junction, home of the Amargosa Opera House and Hotel. Built between 1923-1925, the opera house did not blossom until Marta Becket — an actress, opera singer, painter, and builder — made it her home and canvas, which is evident throughout the building.
Round-trip transportation, plus lunch, snacks, and bottled water are provided.
