About us

Mountains wall this valley, birthplace of astonishing creations. Crystal clear night skies make stargazing compulsory. A mountain spring feeds water furrows and hot thirsts. Doors stand open to passers by, the wind whispers secrets, and magic blows at midnight.

Pull on your hiking boots for amazing hikes along mountain trails past incredible San rock art, fossil beds and other natural wonders. Then visit the haunting Valley of Desolation and the Mountain Zebra National Park.
