Trip Informations
Strap on your best hiking (or cowboy) boots and take on the trails of Death Valley National Park and Joshua Tree National Park. Starting in Las Vegas, this seven-day adventure takes you over the Mojave Desert and into the Badlands. Full of mineral-streaked rocky outcrops and winding narrow canyons, your imagination will run wild with pictures of the region’s past. Joshua Tree National Park provides even more wild western fare, with hidden desert oases, ancient art and towering rock formations all involved in your walks. With hotel stays to rest your head each night, you’ll hardly be another weary traveller at the waterhole.
Why you’ll love this trip
Discover the hidden magic of Darwin Falls and Lost Palms Oasis – the greenery and flowing waters sit in stark contrast to the surrounding desert landscape.
Summit the western wall of Death Valley on a hike to Wildrose Peak, starting the trail at the historic Charcoal Kilns and finishing with views over to the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Get a glimpse of Joshua Tree National Park’s human history at the rancher-built Barker Dam, with 2000-year-old rock art resting nearby.
Wander through the stunning natural colours of Golden Canyon, sticking to the trail through the labyrinth-like twists and turns.
Spend your first evening in Death Valley descending to 282 ft below sea level at Badwater Basin – the lowest point in North America.
Is this trip right for you?
This is a walking trip, so a good fitness level will help you enjoy all included walks and activities.
This trip involves hiking from 4+ to 10 miles (4.5+ to 16 km) per day with a total trip distance of 36+ miles (58+ km). The maximum daily elevation gain/loss is 2200 feet (670 m). Please check the trip itinerary for more details.
On this trip, you’ll be required to carry a daypack weighing approximately 3.5 to 5.5 kg (8-12 lb).
Due to storm damage in Death Valley National Park caused by Hurricane Hilary in August 2023, some park trails and roads may still be under repair during your trip. In the case a trail or destination is inaccessible, we will choose an alternative hike of a similar difficulty.
