Bicycle Tour of Death Valley
6 Days • 422 Miles • 24,600' • $2,495.00
Death Valley is famous for striking views, colorful geologic formations, and scenic vistas. On this cycling vacation we'll tour the park by bike, exploring it's scenic roads, rock formations, sand dunes, ghost towns and even castles.
The National Park Lodge will be our base camp for the week. From here we explore all the park has to offer by bicycle, alternating climbing days with flatter routes down the valley. We'll also hike a few spectacular trails that must be seen when visiting the area.
This California bicycle tour is the perfect winter and spring training camp.
Because Death Valley is located below sea level, the winter temperatures are mild, and as a bonus, the roads are practically empty of cars!
