5-Nights California Death Valley Hiking Lodge Based

MT Sobek

Death Valley's rarely-traveled backcountry holds vast beauty. Experience staggering altitude changes and extensive swaths of desert. Explore winding slot canyons with soaring walls of limestone and marble. Take in views of both the highest and lowest points in the contiguous United States. Discover some of the park's best sights with the guidance of expert, local guides. Over 90% of Death Valley's 3.3 million acres are designated as wilderness. This amounts to an enormous playground of exquisite desert terrain. On our spring departures, we are fortunate to encounter annual wildflower and blooming cactus as they flourish cheerfully along our hike. During the day, we hike between 5 and 10 miles. At night, we retire comfortably to the well-appointed Stovepipe Wells Village Hotel. Hike through the Funeral Mountains, explore hidden narrows, climb a remote desert peak, and so much more. Death Valley's dramatic vistas are incomparable, making for a trip you won't soon forget.

Highlights:

• Hike in Death Valley National Park amid a remarkable desert landscape

Death Valley National Park Death Valley National Park Death Valley National Park is a park of extremes. It is a below-sea-level desert basin and the lowest spot in North America which reaches record summer heats, making it the hottest and driest spot as well. Despite its harshness, it is also home to Devils Hole, an incredibly deep geothermally heated water-filled cave that is the lone habitat of a rare fish. A great diversity of life can be viewed in Death Valley, despite its name, and it is a worthwhile place to visit for nature lovers. Over 1,000 species of plants can be found in Death Valley, and more than 50 are endemics, found nowhere else in the world. Visitors especially enjoy spring in Death Valley after rare rainstorms, which bring vast fields of wildflowers. In winter, towering peaks are dusted with winter snow. Death Valley is a popular location for camping, hiking, stargazing, four-wheel driving and mountain biking, when the temperatures are less extreme.
