Death Valley Bike Tour - 4-Day Getaway

DAY 1 Bike across the giant Salt Playa to the lowest point in the United States and see if you feel any different at 282 feet below sea level | Desert illusions of water might just mesmerize you | Kick back at the Inn at Death Valley, a natural oasis where 50 freshwater springs provide water for drinking, showers, irrigation and even the swimming pool.

DAY 2 Have a look around the Death Valley National Park Visitor Center to learn about the natural wonders you’ll experience during your trip | Delight in the peacefulness of the desert as you set off, marveling at sights both grand and intimate—from immense sand dunes to salt-tolerant pickleweed | Hop off your bike and walk into the dunes at Mesquite Flat, where you'll feel the vastness of the park | After dinner tonight, check out the night sky—stargazing here is like nowhere else.

DAY 3 Pay a visit to the ghost town of Rhyolite, a once-prosperous town site teeming with prospectors | Bike through Daylight Pass to reach the highest point on our trip | Cycle down the valley with views of the Panamint Mountains and sand dunes in the distance | Sip a cool drink as you watch the sun set from the hotel's terrace. 

DAY 4 Ascend to Zabriskie Point, the park's most celebrated vista | Take in the Badlands' yellow sandstone and ancient lava flows in the Black Mountains to the south | Hike through out-of-this-world rock formations resembling Neapolitan ice cream | Explore Golden Canyon, a slot canyon that you may recognize from the original Star Wars films.
