Death Valley Tour from Las Vegas: Explore the Valley of Death National Park

Las Vegas

One day, Vegas to Hoover Dam, Spring Mountain State Park, the old Techatticup Mine, and the mystery of Nelson's Ghost Town. Don’t even think about the driving. Your tour guide will tell you all the historic stories through these massive natural kingdoms. Just sit back with your small group and take a guided journey. You'll make a photo stop at the Hoover Dam, America's second largest! This massive dam, built way back in 1931, was once the biggest and most powerful in the world. It even led to the founding of Boulder City! You'll get to walk on America's second tallest bridge, right where Nevada meets Arizona. Next, you'll hear the wild history of one of the ghost towns near Las Vegas: the one and only Nelson Nevada Ghost Town. In the late 1800s, this remote mining town was truly lawless – full of outlaws, Civil War runaways, and even fighting between rival groups that sometimes led to daily killings. You'll learn about figures like "Queho," Nevada's reported first serial killer. Today, Nelson has been brought back to life, with old buildings restored to show what the old mining town was like. You'll also take a one-hour tour through the Techatticup Mine, Southern Nevada's oldest and richest mine, which operated from 1861 to 1945. You'll walk a quarter-mile on a single gravel path and see where gold and silver were pulled from the earth. Fun fact: the mine's name, "Techatticup," actually means "hungry" in the Paiute Indian language! If you choose to upgrade your tour, you'll also visit Spring Mountain State Park, located just 17 miles west of the Strip, right next to Red Rock Canyon. It's an absolutely incredible place to watch the sunset! Your tour operator will pick you up and drop you off right on the Las Vegas Strip, and even provide as much bottled water as you need. Your trip includes tickets to the Techatticup Mine Tour and the Hoover Dam (if it's open; if not, we'll see bighorn sheep!). If you upgrade your tour, you'll also get into Red Rock Canyon.
