Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Travelers will explore vast desert landscapes, unique wildlife refuges, and nearby Death Valley wonders while experiencing unforgettable sunsets and stargazing. My experience immerses guests in quiet nature, local hidden gems, and the serene beauty that makes Amargosa Valley unlike anywhere else.

   1.5 h

2. Rhyolite Ghost town that was so prominent in its rise in 1904 that instead of wooden construction for the buildings in town they used concrete which has left behind a spooky skeleton of an early 20th century gold rush! Also see art exhibits of the Goldwell Open Air Museum.

   1 hAdmission included

3. View the largest national park in the lower 48 states of the United States.

   45 min

4. Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes are the most accessible dunes in Death Valley, known for golden waves of sand shaped by constant winds. Visitors come for sunrise walks, photography, and the surreal feeling of standing in a vast, quiet desert sea.

5. Burned Wagons Point marks the place where members of the 1849 Death Valley wagon party abandoned and burned their wagons before escaping on foot.
