The best people to immerse you in a destination are the ones who live there, which is why we feature local Adventure Guides on our trips. Here are a few that you might meet on this adventure.

Ashley K.

Ashley is an adventurous spirit with a passion for the great outdoors. She has extensive experience guiding trips in breathtaking landscapes, including Alaska, Zion, Canyonlands, Arches, Yosemite, and Death Valley.

Ashley's love for nature knows no bounds!

Chris K.

Chris grew up splitting time between coastal Massachusetts and Northern California, finding a deep appreciation for both the ocean and mountains. Guiding since 2010, Chris has enjoyed travels around the world but thinks some of the best adventures can be found closer to home in the Western United States. He is grateful to have the unusual opportunity through guiding to share his love of this region with guests.

Asli K.

A well-rounded guide and certified Wilderness First Responder, Asli (“Oz”) spends her free time hiking, biking, running, and skiing the mountains of the west with her 3 beloved dogs (Max, Woody and Chia).

Along the way, your guide will provide interpretation and share stories of local geology, native culture, and plant and animal life. In the afternoon, you\'ll transfer to your accommodations, a historic inn set on 25 secluded acres and surrounded by towering Washingtonia fan palms and lush gardens.

After dinner at Stovepipe Wells Resort, end the day with one of the best nighttime experiences in Death Valley—stargazing! Death Valley is a designated International Dark Sky Park—with minimal light pollution in a vast wilderness, the stars and the Milky Way shine more brightly.

Rise early for a hike to one of Death Valley\'s premier experiences—sunrise at Zabriskie Point. The park\'s iconic craggy badlands are bathed in golden light at this hour, with pink skies above. Continue into Golden Canyon for different perspectives as the sun climbs and strikes its honey-hued walls. The colors continue at Artist\'s Palette, where minerals have oxidized, painting the hillside with pinks, greens, and purple hues. After a stop at the Furnace Creek Visitor Center, head for Dantes View, another top experience in Death Valley. Enjoy a geology talk and take in 360-degree views of Badwater Basin, the Black Mountains, and the Panamint Range. Return to your accommodations to enjoy the amenities and perhaps do a little more stargazing.

Head to Ash Meadows Wildlife Refuge, a desert oasis and protected wetlands. Isolated by the surrounding desert, some species here are found nowhere else on Earth. This is also a great place to spot migratory birds or even a bighorn sheep or bobcat! Depart for Las Vegas, stopping for lunch on the way. Arriving in the late afternoon, you can catch a flight home or spend a night—or two—on your own in the city.
