Description

With six mountain ranges and 93 percent untrammelled wilderness, Utah's Death Valley National Park—one of the largest national parks in the United States—is best discovered in a pair of hiking boots. • Day 1: Death Valley National Park Leave Las Vegas behind and head to Death Valley National Park for views of the Badlands’ jagged hills and a walk to the top of Zabriske Point. After a quick stop at the Furnace Creek Visitor Center, we’ll hike to the trailhead of Golden Canyon and Gower Gulch, a classic Death Valley hiking loop that takes you deep into the Badlands of the Amargosa Mountains.
