California's Dramatic Desert
The names are ominous. Death Valley. Badwater. Furnace Creek. Yet there's striking beauty. The rippling sand dunes. Panorama of colorful mountains and canyons. Plants and animals thriving amid topographic extremes. Now you're one of them. Savoring the views. Tackling the rides. Embracing the cool nights and basking in the daytime sun. With nothing but good omens in sight.
Highlights
- Explore the iconic 100-foot-high dunes at Mesquite Flat—the realm of constantly shifting desert sands and flickering shadows
- Revel in the spectacular scenery—ancient lava flows, yellow sandstone, slot canyons and unique rock formations
- Hike through the shadowed contours of Golden Canyon to the famous lunar landscape at Zabriskie Point, immortalized on film
- Bike through a mesmerizing world, including vast white salt flats and the lowest point in the United States
