Escape Adventures total solar eclipse in Death Valley

Escape Adventures
A rare total solar eclipse takes place on 14 October 2023 and Escape Adventures is offering a 5-day bikepacking tour of Death Valley National Park to view it. 

Death Valley is a desert expanse in Eastern California and is thought to be the hottest place on Earth during summer. 

When it comes to observing a solar eclipse, location is key to success. 

Death Valley National Park, with its expansive desert landscapes and clear skies, presents an ideal vantage point. 

It covers 5,270 square miles (3.4 million acres), stretching into Nevada and offers relics from the harsh life of the area’s early settlers and native inhabitants, including metal ore mines, charcoal kilns, ghost towns, petroglyphs and ancient Shoshone foot trails. 

The park’s remote location and low light pollution enhance the experience, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the celestial show. 

Despite its rather foreboding name, Death Valley is a popular mountain biking destination with more than 350-miles of roads and trails, wildflower blooms and mild temperatures in fall and winter. 

Guests will cycle the heart of the Mojave Desert, from Death Valley National Park to Red Rock Canyon, stopping to visit historic sites accessed by 1930s-era Civilian Conservation Corps roads. 

Highlights include Spicer Ranch Trails, Titus Canyon, Monarch Canyon, Chloride Cliffs, Stovepipe Wells and Cottonwood Valley. 

Escape Adventures offers over 100 destinations geared to fitness level and activity type including road cycling and mountain and electric biking, hiking, and multi-sport activity.
