7 Magic Mountains & Death Valley Stargazing Premium Tour

Seven Magic Mountains is a large-scale public art installation by artist Ugo Rondinone, located in the Nevada desert just outside Las Vegas. It features seven towering stacks of brightly painted boulders, each standing over 30 feet tall. The vibrant colors contrast sharply with the natural desert landscape, symbolizing the intersection of human creativity and nature’s beauty.

Begin your adventure at the iconic Death Valley National Park sign, where the perfect photo sets the tone for an unforgettable journey.

Perched 5,475ft. above the desert floor, you’ll take in one of the most breathtaking panoramas in Death Valley National Park. Spread out beneath you lies a dramatic contrast of landscapes: the brilliant white Badwater Salt Flats-the lowest point in North America-stretching out like a shimmering sea, framed by rugged mountain ranges that rise more than 11,000ft. into the sky.

The Furnace Creek Visitor Center is the perfect first stop on your journey. Here, you’ll find information to help explore the park-from maps, exhibits, and a museum. Browse the bookstore for souvenirs and stamp your national park passport here.

Badwater Basin is one of Death Valley’s most iconic landmarks-and the lowest point in North America at 282ft. below sea level. Walking onto the vast, otherworldly salt flats feels like stepping onto another planet. The ground beneath your feet is a brilliant white crust of crystallized salt, shaped into hexagon-like patterns by the desert’s climate. From this unique spot, you can look up at Telescope Peak, soaring over 11,000ft. above you-creating one of the greatest elevation contrasts anywhere in the world.

Enjoy a breathtaking sunset when the desert colors are at their most dramatic. From this overlook, you’ll see a maze of golden badlands, sculpted by millions of years of erosion into sharp ridges and flowing patterns. This area was once part of an ancient lakebed, and today it offers tourists a chance to witness the raw artistic beauty of nature.

Stargazing in the the Mojave Desert is an unforgettable experience. Far from city lights, the desert sky opens up to reveal a dazzling display of stars, planets, and even the Milky Way stretching across the horizon. On a clear night, you can see thousands of stars with the naked eye, while the silence of the desert makes the moment even more magical. The Mojave Desert offers one of the best dark0sky experiences in the world.
