First stop, the Furnace Creek Visitor Centre! The rangers here will provide expert advice on the best way to explore this vast national park and if you fancy it, there’s also a short orientation film to enjoy. If you are not taking a guided tour, then grab a map, plenty of water and head out to marvel at the many points of interest the valley has to offer – Zabriskie Point, Badwater Basin, the Devils Golf Course, Artists Drive and Dante’s View to name a few.

If you want to explore Death Valley by a different mode of transport, then hay wagon rides, evening carriages and horseback guided trail rides are all available from the Furnace Creek Ranch Stables.
