Hiking
Hiking in Death Valley is uniquely rewarding, but its harsh terrain and extreme temperatures demand careful preparation. Before striking out on your hike, make sure you have sunscreen and adequate water, food and foot protection. In the higher elevations, be prepared for significantly cooler weather. Avoid hiking alone and always let someone else know exactly where you are going and when you expect to return.
Mountain Bike
While most other North American mountain bike hot spots are covered with snow, we are fortunate to enjoy prime riding in the heart of the Mojave Desert at Death Valley National Park and Red Rock Canyon year round.
Death Valley Biking
Despite its severe name, Death Valley is home to amazing wildlife, lovely desert blooms, tremendous geologic diversity, and rich cultural history. From Badwater Basin at 282 feet below sea level to Telescope Peak at 11,049 feet the region is abundant in contrasts and extremes. Take a bike and discover the desert.
