DEATH VALLEY OVERLAND ADVENTURE TOUR – June 6th – 9th:
Death Valley is iconic, fabulously scenic and remote. Three days and three nights of overlanding exploring the largest National Park in the lower 48 States. Over 80- percent of this beautiful park can’t be seen from the pavement – you have to venture off-road. Off-Road Safety Academy takes you to the best sights. Sand dunes, canyons, hot springs, playas, craters, mines, and high-altitude trails are all part of this adventure tour. This tour visits Saline Valley, Hunter Mountain, Hidden Valley, Tea Kettle Junction, Racetrack, and Ubehebe Crater.
This is an overlanding-style tour for 4WD vehicles only. You must be self- contained and self-reliant as we camp at a different remote location each night.

DEATH VALLEY BASECAMP ADVENTURE TOUR – October 31st – November 3rd
This Death Valley adventure is for those who either: 1) Tow their 4WD behind a motorhome or truck, 2) Like to basecamp (meaning camp in the same location each night), and/or 3) Like the challenge of a more difficult off-road trail. Unlike Off-Road Safety Academy’s overlanding-style adventure tours, the trails traveled on this tour are a bit more challenging. There will be some rock crawling on this tour so short wheelbase vehicles are preferred. Front and rear frame-mounted recovery points, a small suspension lift, larger than stock tires, a rear axle locker (or Electronic Traction Control), and rock rails are required.
The tour route includes visiting several remote backcountry miner’s cabins, including a visit to Barker Ranch where Charles Manson was apprehended by law enforcement. History at its best!
Cost: $650 Per Vehicle (as many passenger as you can legally carry)
