Death Valley Tour

Highlights / General details

Begin your morning with a complimentary continental breakfast served in Beatty, Nev., your first stop as you travel through the magnificent Mojave Desert. Then it's on to Scotty's Castle, a Moorish-style landmark, where your castle guide will take you back to a century long ago. After your 60-minute guided castle tour, you will have 30 minutes of free time to explore the castle grounds and enjoy a complimentary picnic lunch served on the grounds of Scotty's Castle.

After lunch you will continue on to your third stop, Ubehebe Crater. The crater is all that remains from a volcanic eruption so violent the volcano itself was destroyed. The crater is nearly a half-mile across and about 800 feet deep.
