Itinerary

Day 1: Desert views and impressive landscapes

Once you’re out of Las Vegas, you’ll drive through Joshua tree landscapes and then stop at an alien Area 51 souvenir shop. Fitting in with the somewhat mysterious magic of the desolate desert, your next stop will be at an opera house in the middle of nowhere to learn about its unbelievable legacy. It is still active after more than 50 years of play.

After leaving the opera house, you'll head out to one of the most photographed overlooks within Death Valley National Park for your first impression of the desert beauty of the driest, hottest, and largest national park in the 48 states. With this just being the beginning, you will see a series of incredible sights ranging from vast salt flats to sand dunes to colorful hills through the day. Always be sure to carry several gallons of water with you and drink plenty. (Your car might need some water too when temperatures are above 100 degrees and you're driving over the Amargosa Range and Panamint Range. And anytime you’ve got a four-legged friend with you, you need to make sure to keep them hydrated too!)

Tonight you’ll be sleeping restfully in your comfortable hotel before getting up in the morning for your weekend adventures.
