About this activity
A 4-day wilderness adventure from Las Vegas across three iconic landscapes: the otherworldly salt flats and canyons of Death Valley, the granite peaks and waterfalls of Yosemite, and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge backdrop of San Francisco. This road trip combines high-desert exploration with alpine scenery and urban culture, punctuated by nights under some of the clearest starry skies in North America.
Enjoy a 4 day tour through the Mighty Mojave Desert, Death Valley, Sierra Mountains and San Francisco, Starry skies and mountain walks!

Insider tips
- ★Bring layers—desert nights drop to near-freezing even in summer; mountain mornings are crisp year-round
- ★Death Valley is best explored early morning to avoid midday heat; start hikes before 7 AM
