Three days cycling in one of the West’s most remarkable national parks is an experience like no other. A land born of fire and steeped in history, Death Valley’s smooth, winding roads undulate above and below sea level, rolling through some of the most dramatic scenery in this 3.4-million-acre national park. The largest national park in the contiguous United States, Death Valley is known the world over as a geological and geographic treasure. Begin in the old mining camp and ghost town of Rhyolite. From there, ride into the park to get a first taste of the wonders of this awe-inspiring landscape. Mountains rise to 11,000 feet on either side of the park’s namesake valley and multi-hued rock formations jut out between salt spires and sand dunes. Some of the best rides of our adventure find us skirting the edges of the Badwater Basin salt flats and walk around the rim of the large volcanic Ubehebe Crater. A weekend spinning through Death Valley National Park will renew your spirit, fill you with exhilaration and introduce you to the exceptional beauty and majesty of this desert wilderness.
