Xanterra Harnesses Death Valley Sun by Constructing Tourism Industry's Largest Solar PV System
Xanterra Parks & Resorts has just completed one of the largest solar photovoltaic (PV) energy systems in the United States. Covering five acres of Southern California’s Death Valley National Park – a 3.3 million-acre park that is the sunniest place in the country – the one megawatt (MW) system will generate more than one-third of the total annual electricity needs of Xanterra’s operations in Death Valley, including the historic Furnace Creek Inn, Furnace Creek Ranch, Furnace Creek Golf Course, employee offices and housing. View a recent press release for more information.

Furnace Creek Inn Closed for Summer Season
The historic Furnace Creek Inn closed for the summer season on Sunday, May 11, 2008. As is traditional, the Inn is expected to re-open this fall on Friday, October 10, 2008. During the summer, extensive upgrades have been made ranging from flat screen TVs in the guest rooms to new furniture in the lobby. For more details, refer to our Press Releases section. Room reservations may be made by using the form to the left of this page.
Furnace Creek Golf Course
The Furnace Creek Golf Course is open for play and is in excellent condition. Low summer golf rates are in affect and this is a fun time of year to enjoy a round of golf on the world's lowest golf course. From June 6th until September 2nd, play 9 holes on our "Extreme Golf 6-Pack". This package includes golf, club rental, electric cart, golf balls and tees and ice cold bottled water, all for one price of $25 per person. "Stay & Play" packages are also available at the Ranch.

Furnace Creek Ranch Swimming Pool
Since its recent renovation, the Furnace Creek Ranch swimming pool has been a place of enjoyment for many of our guests. The pool is a spring-fed flow through pool with beautiful, clear blue water that enters the pool at a constant 84 degrees year round. At the west end of the pool area, a shade structure provides relief from the Death Valley sun. This pool is an extremely popular amenity and a truly first class facility.
California Highway 190
This scenic highway provides the most direct access to the park from the south, serving visitors from southern California and southern Nevada.
