Itinerary
Day 1: Death Valley National Park
Leave Las Vegas behind and head to Death Valley National Park for views of the Badlands’ jagged hills and a walk to the top of Zabriske Point. After a quick stop at the Furnace Creek Visitor Center, we’ll hike to the trailhead of Golden Canyon and Gower Gulch, a classic Death Valley hiking loop that takes you deep into the Badlands of the Amargosa Mountains. After a hilltop lunch with panoramic views, walk down into the water-carved Gower Gulch at the edge of Death Valley then head to your camp for the night.
Day 2: Death Valley National Park
After an early breakfast, head deep into the very spine of the park, the tree-clad Panamint Mountains, and take-on the mighty 9000-foot Wildrose Peak. At the trailhead are the historic Charcoal Kilns: enormous stone domes used for smoking out wood fuel for Old West mining operations. With surprisingly cool temperatures, your hike will take you into a rich juniper forest as you climb the east slopes of Wildrose Peak. At the summit, enjoy breathtaking views of Death Valley, Panamint Valley, and the snow-streaked Sierra Nevada Range on the western horizon.
Day 3: Death Valley National Park
Today you will take it easy with a drive past the Devil’s Cornfield and a hike to the peaceful Mesquite Sand Dunes for sweeping views of several mountain ranges. After the dunes, you will drive further for an easy hike to one of the most tremendous sights in Death Valley National Park, Darwin Falls, a spring-fed waterfall in the driest place on earth. After the falls, enjoy a delicious dinner as a group and make the return drive to Furnace Creek.
Day 4: Death Valley National Park
For our final day in Death Valley, hike one of several mountain canyons of the Amargosa Range. Desolation Canyon, Sidewinder Canyon, Virgin Spring Wash, and Kaleidoscope Canyon each provide a different take on Death Valley’s wilderness. After lunch on the trail or, if time allows, atop the expansive vista of Dante’s View—the best overlook of Death Valley — you will have time to enjoy the view before the drive back to Las Vegas where your trip will come to an end.
