Goldwell Open Air Museum, Rhyolite

Enjoy the great outdoors and rugged extremes of the western United States with a guided tour of Death Valley in the Mojave Desert. Discover some of the area's scenic locations, such as Furnace Creek and the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes. Begin your adventure with a pickup at your Las Vegas hotel and head out into the desert. Stop to explore the famous ghost towns of the Wild West era, including Rhyolite, which came into prosperity in 1904 when gold was found. Next, enter Death Valley, one of the hottest places on earth. Venture into the vast expanses of the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes and gaze at Artist's Palette. Pay a visit to the Furnace Creek Visitor Center, where the highest temperature was recorded. Refuel with a sit-down lunch or a sit-down breakfast buffet in Death Valley (subject to availability). After a day of exploration, relax on the return journey to Las Vegas, with drop-off at your hotel.
