Overview
Despite its severe name, Death Valley is home to amazing wildlife, lovely desert blooms, tremendous geologic diversity, and rich cultural history. From Badwater Basin at 282 feet below sea level to Telescope Peak at 11,049 feet the region is abundant in contrasts and extremes.
A rugged landscape awaits in Death Valley.
Come to Death Valley to hike mountains and canyons, cycle past sand dunes, volcanic craters, and other dramatic geographic formations, and explore the region's quirky mining history.
Our Regular trip lodging, the Furnace Creek Ranch, is comfortable and convenient to the many park sights. Its pool soothes and refreshes you after a day on the trail.
Our Luxury trip lodging, the historic Furnace Creek Inn, provides an amazing setting to recharge at each day's end, including a spring-fed swimming pool, gourmet restaurant, and loads of unique character.
