5-Nights California Death Valley Hiking Lodge Based

Explore Death Valley's rarely traveled backcountry to experience vast swaths of desert and extremes in elevation. Over 90% of Death Valley's 3.3 million acres are designated as wilderness, where you'll find yourself winding through the soaring walls of limestone and marble in slot canyons and marveling at views of both the highest and lowest points in the contiguous United States. Hike through the Funeral Mountains, explore hidden narrows, follow the Keane Wonder Mine Trail, and more on this expertly guided MT Sobek Death Valley expedition. And when the sun goes down, look up—Death Valley's designation as an International Dark Sky Park means the night skies are as spectacular as the landscapes below.

Highlights:

• Hike through Death Valley National Park's sensational desert badlands, including Dantes View and the Funeral Mountains
• Access the park's best trails from well positioned lodging in the heart of the park
• Wonder at unique geology, from sparkling salt pans to eroded badlands and narrow slot canyons
