Death Valley Cycling Tour

You’ll be picked up in Las Vegas to begin the tour. You’ll be driven closer to the Death Valley National Park, where you’ll have time to get your bike fitted and prepared.

Tonight there will be an orientation dinner with your group.

Your ride today will begin with a climb up Daylight Pass, then it will be mostly downhill for the rest of the ride! You’ll bike past Hell’s Gate and Mud Canyon, stopping for a break in Mesquite Flats to admire one of the biggest networks of sand dunes in the United States.

Enjoy the incredible views of the Funeral and Panamint Mountain Ranges as you ride to the hotel in Stovepipe Wells. Finally, take a refreshing dip in the pool to cool off before dinner.

This morning you’ll take the shuttle to a trailhead in the valley. Your ride will gradually climb to the Ubehebe Crater rim. From here you can choose to hike into the crater to explore or relax and take in the views from the top. Either way, you’re sure to be blown away by the vantage point.

It will be a relaxing trip back as it’s downhill all the way!

On your morning ride through Salt Creek Valley, you’ll see the Great Salt Flats on the horizon. During today’s ride, you’ll have a chance to stop at the Harmony Borax Works and the Borax Museum to learn about the natural history of the area.

If you’re looking for a longer ride you can choose to complete the triangle to Hell’s Gate. There is also a spring-fed swimming pool and golf course at the hotel if you would rather have a more relaxing afternoon.

Your bike ride today will include about 20 km of climbing. You’ll have a break to take in the view from Zabriskie Point, and then push on until the last few miles where park policy requires that you dismount. A van will be waiting to drive you the final stretch to Dante’s View, where you can expect to be awestruck by the panoramic views over Death Valley. On clear days it’s possible to see all the way to snowy Telescope Peak!

Enjoy lunch in this spectacular location before zipping back down the hill.

Today you’ll take the road across the valley towards Badwater Basin. The route will include the challenging section to Artist’s Palette, where you’ll be tackling a few short steep sections that will gain you 2,000ft of elevation in just 7,5 miles.

Once you’ve conquered your final Death Valley hill, you’ll enjoy the ride down into the lowest point in the country at Badwater Basin. You’ll have some time to explore before the group gets picked up by the shuttle to head back to Las Vegas.
