if you have been to the desert, then you know what it’s all about. Join our group of experienced and knowledgeable iher’s for a whole week of death valley wheeling and exploring. If you have never tried desert four wheeling, then you are in for an experience of a lifetime. You’ll either love it or hate it. There are no mild opinions on our desert.
Death valley in March is a land of extremes. Cold and frosty in the morning and after sundown; hot during the day. Dead calm or hang-on-tight winds blowing sand through your clothes. It can rain or even snow. The coloring of the stark landscape changes hourly. The plants and the critters are tenacious. The trails are rife with history and rocks.
Death valley is a harsh and dramatic landscape, filled with history and legend. The opportunity to step back in time is boundless as you retrace the epic story of survival in 1849. Standing in the vastness of the valley floor, it is easy to understand the despair those pioneers felt when confronting the absolutely inhospitable valley without a clue to its perils or obstacles.
