Overview

A fascinating tour for anyone interested in history, architecture, or famous and unusual geographical features. Also, the perfect choice for great masterpiece photography taking!

Death Valley National Park is the continental United States’ largest park, and also the hottest, driest and lowest. Despite these harsh conditions, the park’s more than 3-million acres are not simply desert plains. They are also home to mountains, canyons, sand dunes, extinct volcanic craters and even palm trees and wildflowers.

Harmony Borax Works was the central feature in the opening of Death Valley and the subsequent popularity of the Furnace Creek area. The plant and associated townsite played an important role in Death Valley history. Rhyolite Ghost Town was inhabited for just 12 years, but it flourished enormously during this short period.

Stop At: Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, Central Death Valley near Stovepipe Wells, Death Valley National Park, CA 92328

Many first time visitors to Death Valley are surprised it is not covered with a sea of sand. Less than one percent of the desert is covered with dunes, yet the shadowed ripples and stark, graceful curves define "desert" in our imaginations.

For dunes to exist there must be a source of sand, prevailing winds to move the sand, and a place for the sand to collect. The eroded canyons and washes provide plenty of sand, the wind seems to always blow (especially in the springtime), but there are only a few areas in the park where the sand is "trapped" by geographic features such as mountains.

Stop At: Artist's Drive, Badwater Road, Death Valley National Park, CA 92328

Tucked behind an unassuming yellow landscape, the rainbow of Artists Palette is the highlight along the Artists Drive Scenic Loop. Here, visitors marvel at an array of colors (red, orange, yellow, blue, pink, and green), splashed across the hills.
These colors are from volcanic deposits rich in compounds such as iron oxides and chlorite, which creates a rainbow effect.

Heard about Death Valley for many years but never got a chance to visit. We were glad we did and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Our tour guide Bin did an excellent job. He knew the best sighting spots. He was helpful, patient, knowledgeable and also a safe driver.

This probably is the most valuable tour you can find for the similar attraction. Our trip was so well planned and organized by Bin, who is knowledgeable and patient with each one in the group. He managed to take us to as many as view points even if we are late on timeline of the trip which might result himself in getting home late. Highly recommended!
