• Pahrump - A brief 10-minute stop in the town of Pahrump, where guests can enjoy a freshly packed daily lunch box.
• Rhyolite - The Rhyolite Ghost Town was inhabited for only 12 years, from 1904 to 1916, yet it experienced significant growth during this brief period. Visitors can explore the haunting, deserted streets of this notable gold rush-era boomtown and admire the infrastructure that developed so rapidly.
• Death Valley National Park - Discover the unique geographical features of Death Valley, including sand dunes, salt flats, colorful rocks, and towering mountains. As the largest park in the continental United States, Death Valley National Park is also the hottest, driest, and lowest. Despite its harsh conditions, the park’s over 3 million acres (1.3 million hectares) offer more than just desert plains. Visitors can find mountains, canyons, sand dunes, extinct volcanic craters, and even palm trees and wildflowers.
• Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes - Many first-time visitors to Death Valley are surprised to find it is not entirely covered in sand. Less than one percent of the desert is covered with dunes, yet the shadowed ripples and stark, graceful curves define the “desert” in our imaginations.

For dunes to form, there must be a source of sand, prevailing winds to move the sand, and a place for the sand to accumulate. The eroded canyons and washes provide ample sand, the wind seems to always blow (especially in the springtime), but there are only a few areas in the park where the sand is “trapped” by geographic features such as mountains.

• Artist’s Drive - Hidden behind an unassuming yellow landscape, the rainbow of Artists Palette is the highlight along the Artists Drive Scenic Loop. Here, visitors can marvel at a spectrum of colors (red, orange, yellow, blue, pink, and green) splashed across the hills.
  These colors are due to volcanic deposits rich in compounds such as iron oxides and chlorite, creating a rainbow effect.
• Zabriskie Point - The breathtaking views from Zabriskie Point are among the most photographed in Death Valley National Park. Named in honor of Christian Zabriskie, a prominent figure in the heyday of the Pacific Coast Borax Company, Zabriskie Point offers an elevated vantage point from which to admire the badlands below.

These yellow and brown striped hills have been sculpted by the powerful force of water, and even during dry periods, the path carved by this water is unmistakable. Beyond the badlands, views of the salt flats covering the floor of Death Valley are visible in the distance, with the imposing Panamint Mountains towering above.

• Badwater - Badwater Basin is the lowest point in North America at 282 ft (86 m) below sea level. The salt flats here cover nearly 200 square miles (518 square km) and are composed mostly of sodium chloride (table salt), along with calcite, gypsum, and borax.
• Las Vegas - Return route to Las Vegas, enjoying the beautiful evening drive through the Mojave Desert, with a drop-off at your hotel.

• Round-trip Transportation
• Complimentary hotel pick-up and drop-off

Death Valley National Park holds the title of the largest park in the continental United States, as well as being the hottest, driest, and lowest. Despite these extreme conditions, the park’s expansive 3-million acres offer more than just desert plains. Visitors will find mountains, canyons, sand dunes, extinct volcanic craters, and even palm trees and wildflowers.

Harmony Borax Works was pivotal in the development of Death Valley and contributed to the popularity of the Furnace Creek area. This plant and its associated townsite played a significant role in the history of Death Valley. Rhyolite Ghost Town, though inhabited for only 12 years, experienced remarkable growth during its brief existence.
