Hiking
Death Valley is one of three National Parks near Bishop, but also one of the lesser known and lesser visited ones. This National Park offers superb desert hiking into shaded canyons where roses grow and unique species such as pupfish live. Deeply eroded canyons with polished limestone grottos lead to dry waterfalls. Telescope Peak rises in one massive sweep from below sea level to over eleven thousand feet. Petroglyphs scratched into canyon walls by people who long ago figured out how to survive here. The Sierra Nevada may close for hiking in the winter, and that is when Death Valley opens up!
You will set up the base camp at a campground near Furnace Creek. Over three days the Guide will choose from the list of possible day hikes below.
Highlights:
- Fall Canyon – A five-mile round trip to the spectacular canyon narrows with some bypasses around dry falls to a high fall that blocks higher access.
- Funeral Slot Canyon – Possibly the longest and narrowest slot canyon in the Park with a nine-mile round-trip hike.
- Grotto Canyon – An intricate, labyrinthine canyon, deep enough in places that the sun rarely penetrates.
- Lower Bad Canyon – This is one of the giant canyons. It drops over 6000 feet from Dantes View to Badwater
- Mt. Perry – An eight mile round-trip on a rough use trail from the spectacular Dantes View to the summit of the Argus range, with expansive views over the whole of Death Valley Park.
- Natural Bridge Canyon – A canyon hike that takes us to the largest natural bridge in the Park
