The names are ominous. Death Valley. Dante's View. Badwater. Yet there's striking beauty. And opportunity for great pleasure. It's almost as if someone wanted to keep it to themselves. Make you believe it's just a mirage. But you know better. So you soak it in. The rippling sand dunes. Brilliantly colored mountains. Isolated valleys. Plants and animals thriving amid the topographic extremes and ever-changing weather. Now you're one of them. Savoring unforgettable views. Tackling steep bike rides. And basking in the warm rays of the sun. With nothing but good omens in sight.

Itinerary

Day 1 Revel in the peacefulness of the desert  In Death Valley National Park, explore Scotty's Castle, a flamboyant Moorish-style hacienda with an indoor waterfall, 18 fireplaces and a pipe organ What's that shimmering in the distance? The Great Salt Flats play tricks on your eyes as you ride to Mud Canyon on mostly level terrain.

Day 2 Dramatic Dante's View, offering a red-tailed hawk's perspective on Death Valley  It's a challenging climb to get there - more than 5,000 feet in less than 30 miles (you can always get a lift in the van)  Relish the breathtaking 360-degree panorama, featuring snow-kissed Telescope Peak framed by Devil's Golf Course and the spectacular Panamint Mountains  In the mood for a fast technical descent? Then brave the downhill to the desert floor.

Day 3 Bike through badlands, conquering iconic Hell's Gate  Marvel at sand dunes surrounded by the Panamint Range An optional hike leads through otherworldly rock formations that resemble Neapolitan ice cream.

Day 4 Bike across the giant Salt Playa to the lowest point in the U.S. and see if you feel any different at 282 feet below sea level Desert illusions of water might just mesmerize you.
