We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
Death Valley is a land of extremes. At times, weather conditions (like heat, cold, high winds, the occasional rainstorm and even snow!) may warrant unexpected changes to our itinerary. In this event, alternate activities will be planned that you’re sure to enjoy.
The Inn at Death Valley received a multimillion-dollar renovation in 2018. It is a grand historical treasure and by far the best place to stay in the Death Valley area. While its location within Death Valley National Park makes it an ideal base for exploring the valley’s many sights, it is also subject to park regulations and oversight. Similar to many national park lodges, service at the Inn at Death Valley can seem slow and casual compared to the high standards of hospitality found on other Backroads trips.
