Cycling

Cyclists enjoying the views along one of the many paved roads in Death Valley.

NPS/Kurt Moses

Exploring Death Valley on two wheels instead of four is a great way to experience the park! With hundreds of miles of roads, cyclists have many adventure options. Bicycles can be used on all park roads that are open to public vehicular traffic; they are not allowed on closed roads, service roads, off roadways, in the wilderness, or on any trails. Most park roads are narrow and/or have high speed limits, so for your safety, please ride single-file and wear bright clothing.
