Valley became a national park, making it the largest park in the continental United States.
High summer temperatures discourage many visitors. Most tourism is in the winter, spring,
and fall, and the inn is available to guests from mid-October through mid-May. In the hot months,
from mid-May through mid-October, all operations are consolidated at the Furnace Creek Ranch.
The mission-style inn is a AAA four-diamond property. The nearby Furnace Creek Ranch offers
224 family-oriented accommodations.
The Furnace Creek Inn & Ranch Resort offers the perfect vantage point to explore the beauty
of a region that is virtually untouched and extraordinarily distinct.
