Embark on an in-depth day tour of Death Valley National Park from Las Vegas and explore one of the most extreme environments on Earth. Despite its foreboding name, Death Valley is a land of striking contrasts and remarkable beauty, featuring vast salt flats, towering sand dunes, colourful badlands, and rugged mountains.
Start your day at Furnace Creek, home to the park's visitor centre. Gather information and learn about the park's history and geology. Then, continue to Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level. The expansive salt flats here create a surreal landscape that's perfect for photography.
Next, head to Dante's View, a viewpoint that offers panoramic vistas of Death Valley, providing a breathtaking perspective of the valley floor and surrounding mountains. Then, visit Zabriskie Point, known for its erosional landscape. This is a favourite spot for sunrise and sunset views, showcasing the vibrant colours of the badlands.
Finally, drive through Artists Palette, a scenic drive through multicoloured hills caused by the oxidation of various metals, offering a unique and colourful landscape.
