DEATH VALLEY 2025 – California
March 20, 2025 - March 23, 2025
The Horseless Carriage Club of Southern California cordially invites you to spend the first days of spring motoring in America’s largest and most enchanting national park. Death Valley is truly a destination like no other and we will be enjoying the best of what the park has to offer during the most ideal time of year for a visit.
This will be a three-night hub tour based out of the historic Oasis at Death Valley Resort. We have secured room blocks from each of the resort’s two lodging options. The first option is the historic and recently renovated Inn at Death Valley which was built in 1927 on a natural hot spring which still services the hotel’s amenities. The second option is the Ranch at Death Valley.
The Inn and the Ranch are just across the road from each other and together comprise the Oasis Resort. Tour participants may choose which lodging type they prefer and make reservations for either option by calling (760)-786-2345 and using the following reservation codes for “The Horseless Carriage Club” room block:
- Inn at Death Valley – $538.62 per night with reservation code FI032025HCC
- Ranch at Death Valley – $236.02 per night with reservation code FR032025HCC1
Death Valley is an unparalleled motoring destination and our tour will explore a number of the fascinating albeit strange phenomena of this unique part of the world. We will drive through the lowest point below sea level in North America and climb to the highest peak in the valley while exploring many of the other features that compelled Herbert Hoover to declare this area a national monument in 1933.
