Join us for another unforgettable adventure in Death Valley National Park! Although brief showers changed our plans last year, they didn’t dampen our spirits. We enjoyed a lively gathering inside the Badwater Saloon at Stovepipe Wells, where we played cards, shared stories, and got better acquainted.
This year, we’re planning to return to spectacular Aguereberry Point, search for the historic Skidoo mines, and explore several fascinating mining sites along West Side Road. As always, our itinerary may be adjusted based on weather and road conditions—part of the adventure of exploring Death Valley!
And no trip would be complete without stopping for ice cream at the Oasis at Death Valley in Furnace Creek. Come join us for breathtaking scenery, desert history, great company, and plenty of adventure!
Our off-roading trips include:
All-day adventure: Roger Pass via Pleasant Canyon via Ballarat
Shorter excursions: Echo Pass and Inyo Mine
(Please note: Titus Canyon remains closed due to road damage from Hurricane Hilary in 2023.)
Our short hikes include:
Mosaic Canyon, Natural Bridge, and Willow Canyon Trail
Prefer to go at your own pace? You’re welcome to join us and plan your own adventure days in Death Valley!
We’ve scheduled both short and long 4x4 outings, giving you the flexibility to also enjoy hiking local trails or visiting nearby highlights such as the Devil’s Golf Course and Dante’s View
