North America JOSHUA TREE AND DEATH VALLEY
Exploring Extraordinary Desertscapes
Overview
Go deep into the startling, sublime, surreal, and exquisite landscapes of Joshua Tree National Park and Death Valley National Park on this fabulous multi-day small group journey. Your guide knows the most interesting hikes, the best viewpoints, and the most revealing stories from all the way back to the days of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, who arrived here first. You’ll thread your way through each park, discovering fascinating complexities in the seemingly austere surroundings. You’ll see Zabriskie Point at sunrise, trace the smooth, cool walls of Mosaic Canyon and drive dirt roads where Joshua trees and pinyon pines hold council. Accommodations at the eclectic 29 Palms Inn and elegant Inn at Death Valley make the experience complete. Prepare to be awed by the grand sense of space you feel gazing out at Badwater Basin from Dante’s View – as well as by the intimate sight of a tiny Joshua tree sprouting in the protection of a shrub. At day’s end, jump for joy – right into the spring-fed pool at the hotel. Before bed, marvel at the night sky as you’ve never seen it before.
