Day Itinerary
Sunrise Departure — 6:00 AM
Your private luxury vehicle picks you up from your Las Vegas hotel at 6:00 AM. The early departure is strategic — you'll witness Death Valley bathed in golden sunrise light, with cooler morning temperatures perfect for outdoor exploration.
Zabriskie Point
Arrive at Zabriskie Point for one of Death Valley's most iconic and dramatic panoramas — a sweeping landscape of eroded golden badlands, layered ridges, and ancient lakebed formations glowing under the morning light. Your guide explains the five-million-year geological story carved into these hills.
Badwater Basin
Descend to Badwater Basin — the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level. Walk out onto the vast, endless expanse of hexagonal salt flats, surrounded by the towering canyon walls of the Black Mountains. One of the most surreal landscapes on Earth.
Artist's Palette
Drive through Artist's Drive and stop at Artist's Palette — a hillside of volcanic rock deposits in vivid shades of pink, green, yellow, purple, and red, created by the oxidation of different minerals. One of Death Valley's most colorful and photographed natural canvases.
Dante's View
Ascend to Dante's View, perched 5,476 feet above sea level, for a breathtaking panorama of the entire Death Valley floor — from the shimmering salt flats of Badwater Basin far below to the snow-capped peaks of the Panamint Range across the valley. One of the most dramatic viewpoints in the American Southwest.
Return to Las Vegas
Board your private vehicle for the comfortable return to Las Vegas, arriving back at your hotel after a full morning and afternoon of Death Valley's most extraordinary landscapes.
