Country Inn, Guided Hiking and Walking Tours

Death Valley with its wind-and sand-sculpted canyons, alluvial fans and salt flats provides a backdrop for some of the most unique hikes you will ever experience. Join us on this 5-day journey through 1.5 billion years of geologic history in a land that is home to over 400 wildlife species.

Our evenings will be spent at the Furnace Creek Ranch and Resort, a lush oasis surrounded by this extraordinary desert landscape. Day one we visit both Golden Canyon and Desolation Canyon, exposing us to beautiful parts of the Death Valley badlands.

We start off day two with an adventure in the Stovepipe Sand Dunes with their shifting sands and soft lines. After lunch at Salt Creek we discover Mosaic Canyon where the smooth canyon walls and colorful conglomerate rocks provide a new canyon experience. The next morning finds us heading to the east side of the valley to Fall Canyon where the strata are multi-colored, buckled, twisted and eroded. In the afternoon we will visit the volcanic Ubehebe Crater.

Day four includes a hike to Wildrose Peak (9,064 ft.) where we are rewarded with a bird’s eye view of the mysteriously beautiful world we have enjoyed for the past several days. Finally, no visit to the park is complete without seeing Natural Bridge and a walk on the Badwater salt flats the lowest point in the lower 48 states at 282 feet below sea level.
