Day 1
We kick things off with a scenic drive to Death Valley, where we’ll set up camp at a preselected campsite in the heart of the desert. The day will be packed with exploration— what we see and when depends on factors like weather, daylight, and how quickly we hit the road. Be ready for breathtaking sights and some hiking right out of the gate. That evening, we'll gather around the campfire for stories, s’mores, and some serious stargazing.
Day 2
After a solid breakfast, we’ll head out to uncover more of Death Valley’s hidden treasures. Lunch will be on-the-go as we visit more incredible spots. Each destination offers its own unique view of the park’s dramatic beauty. By evening, we’ll return to camp for a hot meal and more fireside fun before calling it a night.
Day 3
On our final day, we’ll pack up camp and squeeze in some last-minute exploration before making the drive back to San Diego.
