The guided tour of the tunnels under Albert Johnson's Death Valley Ranch.

See what is hidden under Scotty's Castle

The Underground Tour takes you into the basement beneath the Castle for a look at the historic technology which, considering the remote desert location and the time-period, was very advanced. You will also be able to see modern technology that the National Park Service is using to help preserve the Castle. The tour will lead you through part of the tunnel system that runs beneath the Castle. The tour will culminate with a demonstration of the Pelton Water Wheel used to furnish the Castle with electricity.

The tour is completely separate from the house tour and lasts about an hour. If you have not visited Scotty's Castle before, we recommend going on the main house tour first.

Tours are available three or four times daily November through April and occasionally in May, September, And October.

Tours are limited to 15 people. This tour is not ADA accessible.
