Nothing says male bonding like some bad-boy time on the beach
Off-Road in Death Valley
Former boy scouts looking for a wilderness camping adventure should look no further than Death Valley, California, where deep-rock canyons, old mining camps, and the arid Panamint Mountains beg to be explored. See it all via 4x4 – and if you’re feeling really adventurous, spin your wheels in the sand of the Dumont Dunes, some of the tallest dunes open for off-road riding. Set up camp under the stars and test your survival skills, because you’ll be sharing the land with wild donkeys, coyotes, and snakes. Pack plenty of drinking water – about 2 gallons per person per day – if you don’t want the park’s name to predict the outcome of your trip.
Book It: Western Adventures offers 3-night guided 4x4 tours of the region starting in the town of Trona, California and continuing through the area’s mountains and valleys from $429 per vehicle.
