Death Valley Discovery

The name is foreboding and gloomy, yet here in the valley and in its surrounding mountains you can find spectacular wildflower displays, snow-covered peaks, beautiful rolling sand dunes, colorful badlands, brilliant starlit nights, rugged canyons and the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere at 282 feet below sea level. Come along with us on this remarkable 3-day journey to Death Valley, an excursion that crosses the paths of our nation's pioneers and features breathtaking scenery combined with a colorful panorama of American history. You’ll unpack once at The Oasis at Death Valley, situated in the heart of the valley, and venture out daily to explore this magical land. From the jagged jumbles of crystalline salts tilted into erratic shapes at Devil’s Golf Course to the surprising splashes of color and intricate folds of silky sand dunes, you’ll witness a kaleidoscope of geological formations and man-made wonders. With its magnificent valleys, vistas, flora and fauna, Death Valley is an active world of exciting contrasts - quite the opposite of its name!
