“This might have been the best trip in my life, even better than Grand Canyon! First of all, the guide is amazing, she is like a professional photographer, and took the best pictures of me that I have ever had. We had a chance to taste some local wine in Pahrump, then we went to see the Valley from Dante's view, Zabriskie point and also to Furnace Creek. Then we went downwards until we reached the Badwater Basin - one of the amazing sights of my life! After that, it was getting dark, we stopped at another beautiful hilly place in the valley, and lastly we went back to Zabriskie…”

3.Stargazing In The Mountains & Shooting Stars

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 31 reviews · 5 hours

Jake or Jacob briefs you before you drive an equipped Jeep or SUV from Las Vegas to Lovell Canyon. Settle into a wilderness camp with chairs, snacks, blankets, water, a telescope, and seasonal fire supplies. The outing suits families, couples, and solo explorers, but you must handle the drive and manage without restrooms or maintained facilities.

“The best part of this was the fact that it was self guided. It allowed for a unique experience for my group. All the necessities were available and a very easy route to the highlighted points of interest within the map. Would definitely do this activity again.”

“This trip was fantastic. The vineyard vista & wine tasting was very good. Not sure it would be everyone’s cup of tea but we enjoyed it. The Death Valley experience was just amazing and so worth the visit. Alex our guide was very informative and engaging. I would absolutely recommend this trip to one of the most hostile environments but so interesting. Added bonus at Furnace Creek with the outdoor museum. The stargazing at Red Rock Canyon was fantastic with a full moon, lots of stars and then howling coyotes. Would recommend this trip to family & friends. Alex was a great guide”
