Death Valley
Death Valley: land of extremes. A wonderful and mysterious place, this valley supports nearly 1,000 native plant species on only two inches of rain per year. At Badwater Basin, desert winds whisper through the valley floor 282 feet below sea level, and 15 miles west the towering 11,000-foot Telescope Peak remains shrouded in snow and ice until late spring.
Pedal past sand dunes, hot springs, canyons, rock formations, and an incredible variety of plant and animal life. We’ll explore the maze of wildly eroded and colorful badlands that are Death Valley, and we’ll retrace the route of the rugged ’49ers and pioneers who arrived via ox-drawn wagons on the Old Spanish Trail to this special place in eastern California.
We’ll enjoy spectacularly clear nights and embrace desert solitude on this eight-day tour.
