Truly a lifetime experience. The Death Valley will always take your breath away! Although The Death Valley is home to the hottest temperature ever recorded on earth, we will skip the heat by arriving at the park when the weather is cooler for a relaxing experience! The park occupies 3.4 million acres of pure dramatic views that makes you feel as if you’re on another planet. This is not only the biggest national park in the lower 48 states, it is also one of the most scenic places on Earth. Our trip will begin by taking a refreshing and tasteful wine tasting tour, you will have the opportunity to taste wine from grapes grown locally at Pahrump, the biggest wine producer in Nevada. We will then head towards our main attraction, the incredible Death Valley National Park. We will take you to the most scenic and most picturesque view points inside the famous national park, including a stop at Dante’s View, an overlook of Death Valley and one of the locations used to record Star Wars. Afterwards, we will head towards the Badwater Basin, the lowest point in the western hemisphere at 282 feet below the sea level. After experiencing and taking several pictures of these spectacularly memorable locations, we will stop to eat at the Ranch at Furnace Creek. As nightfall approaches, we will head towards the Zabriskie Point to catch the sunset and take part in the day’s final moments of sunlight, followed by a chance for stargazing at the incredible night sky of Death Valley. The twilight followed by the stargazing experience presents to you such a unique view of Death Valley while truly creating unforgettable memories for you, your family and friends!
