If at *all* possible you want to do the Death Valley tour in a car. It
is absolutely *spectacular* and it's waaaaaaaaaay better to be able to
stop and get out whenever/wherever you like. The major car rental
companies require that you be 25, but I think you'll find if you do a
little internet research that some of the smaller, local companies
will rent to younger people.
But even if you can't get the car....GO. It's unforgettable!!
