Small Group: Death Valley National Park Day Trip from Las Vegas
Overview
The lowest point in North America, and you are back in Las Vegas the same day.
Death Valley is not a place you pass through - it is 3.4 million acres of salt flats, sand dunes and eroded badlands, and doing it properly from Vegas means an early start and someone who knows where to be and when. That is the whole point of this tour.
Maximum 13 guests - a van, never a coach. Hotel pickup on the Strip or Fremont, drop-off at your door. Guides in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

What To Expect
Death Valley is the hottest, driest and lowest place in North America, and it starts two hours from the Strip.
We leave Las Vegas early so you are in the park while the light is still low and the heat has not arrived. You stand at Badwater Basin, 282 feet below sea level, on a salt flat that runs to the horizon. You look down over the eroded badlands from Zabriskie Point, the view that opens almost every photograph of the park. And you walk out onto the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes near Stovepipe Wells.
Between the stops your guide explains how the valley got this hot, how the salt got there, and how anything survives it - the geology, the ecology and the borax-mining history that gave the park its Twenty Mule Team.
Small group, air-conditioned van, unlimited cold water, and the same driver-guide with you the whole day.
