Death Valley National Park Cycling Tour

The names of our Death Valley cycling tour are exciting; Death Valley, Dante’s View, Badwater, Hell’s Gate. Death Valley has an instantaneous emotional impact on everyone who sees it. That initial view from Zabriskie Point across the vastness of the valley floor to the distant Panamint Peaks rising from the valley clad in an unmistakable mantle of snow is unlike anything that one can experience in a normal cycling trip. Death Valley National Park is the largest national park in the lower 48 states. Its 3.3 million acres are nestled between two mountain ranges, and its Badwater Basin is 282’ below sea level – the lowest point in North America. In fact, during our visit, we will get a view of the Badwater Basin and Telescope Peak at 11,040 ft above sea level.

The park’s paved roads offer a beautiful bicycling experience through a rich palette of surreal desert geography and an assortment of topography from level desert spinning to sustained climbs. The sun-soaked days and cool evenings make it the perfect setting for cycling for our February Hub Tour. We have time on the agenda for scenic rides as well as time at the pool.
