Death Valley Tour with Guided Hikes

We have a new submission for a guided hike we wanted to share with our community! A few months ago we made a post calling out to nature lovers that have gone on hikes that they can submit here. We finally got an entry, and it’s for a US National Park – Death Valley! We’re excited to share this tour experience with you; and if you have another nature experience you’d like to submit, please do so here.

Amanda’s Experience on a Guided Tour at Death Valley

I saw this in person so boo-ya!

I was in Las Vegas visiting for a friends wedding she held there. It was an awesome time! Just as many of you already know about me, I’m a nature lover to the death of me! I needed to find something to do in this crazy desert that was far away from the casinos on The Strip. I looked up things to do online and came across this cool company that does adventure tours. They radiate “nature lover” from their souls I can just tell from what I saw online. After sorting through quite a few tours they had, I chose their Death Valley tour from Las Vegas where they pick you up at your hotel and guide you on a tasteful trip to and through Death Valley!

The first stop was at Death Valley Junction and we had some coffee and talked about the area really briefly while walking over to the Amargosa Opera House which was an interesting place to say the least. Then we entered into Death Valley National Park and went straight to Zabriskie Point, which had some nice hiking spots.

Lowest Elevation in North America?!

We then went to Badwater Basin which literally is the lowest elevation point in North America at 282 ft. below sea level! It definitely felt weird there being so low in elevation.

After that we went on some really strenuous hikes, which is what I wanted of course. They guided me on some nice walks with breathtaking views and also led the way up some serious terrain. I had all my usual hiking gear and I would recommend to anyone that hikes Death Valley to BRING A CAMELBAK! You’re gonna need tons of water, it’s gonna be around 110 degrees Fahrenheit – and there’s nowhere to hide from the heat!

After doing some hiking and seeing exclusive views that only hikers get to see 😉 we went over to the Ubehebe Crater. This place is a sight to see without question. It looks really small in photos online, but in person, it is a gigantic pit. They taught me about how it was formed by a volcanic eruption which was very cool to know since I thought it was a meteor!

Taking this tour was a great experience. The tour company was called “Out West Adventure Tours” and if you’re planning on taking a tour from Las Vegas to somewhere cool and adventurous – they are the company to use! I had a blast with them, it was so much fun. They even have a customized luxury van that is very comfortable with a gift bag surprise on my seat!

Hiking at Death Valley Rating: 9.2/10 (not a 10 solely due to the heat).

Now that summer is going to be over very soon and kids are back in school, we’re opening up to schools for field trips!

Music, Nature Channel, Sponsor, Team

Our Sponsor Offers Music Lessons!

Music Lessons for Our Visitors

I’d like to introduce our latest sponsor to our nature channelMusic Lessons Las Vegas.

Having served Las Vegas for over a decade, this music instructor has made it to the big leagues. He’s been featured in many concerts, weddings and even family events. Performing for people that are in love with music is his passion. His name is Patrick Worley and he’s been my music instructor for the past 3 years.

In nature, what I personally enjoy the most is the vibes and feel I get from looking off into the environment. Secondly, I love the wildlife! But these 2 things have something in common with music – they’re all forms of art that can be appreciated. music lessons sponsor article

Let me tell you, having a music instructor is a blessing. Learning all kinds of instruments is what makes it a fun challenge! It’s like learning a new language. I feel so proud to be able to create music with my own hands, it’s an incredible feeling.

Imagine having your children all learn how to play the piano, or the guitar or the bass. Those are skills they will teach their kids, and their kids, and grand kids and so on. Music has that in common with nature. because I’ve already shown my children everything I know about nature. Now they love showing their kids! It’s a wondrous thing to be able to pass down knowledge to our young ones. These things stay in the family forever!

Music of Nature

As I’ve been hinting at, nature and music both belong in the same category. If you love nature, odds are you love music and other forms of art as well! It’s most definitely true for me, I love all kinds of art. Most of all, I love nature – but the thing about nature is that you can hear the music it naturally breathes off into the air. Go out to a nice nature park and listen. You’ll feel the same way as if you’re listening to music. All you have to do is relax and pay close attention to ALL sounds nature is giving off.

Listen to the birds communicating with each other in a beautiful symphony. Listen to the bees buzzing around, the flowers, trees and leaves blowing in the wind, the lack of noise near a large rock or mountain; It’s all music!

Having been surrounded by beautiful nature all my life, I feel as if it’s my duty to show others what I’ve discovered in this area. Our sponsor Music Lessons Las Vegas is the reason I’m able to talk about this today and bring it to our close followers attention. I wouldn’t have written this post otherwise. we have so much going on at our nature center and channel that I have no time to post here. But don’t worry, I don’t forget about our few close followers that visit our site!

If you’re looking to try learning how to play instruments and need a music lessons instructor, please visit Music Lessons Las Vegas at – https://www.lessonslasvegas.com/

Advertising, Nature Channel

Advertising Opportunities on our Nature Channel!

Chattanooga ANC is proud to offer advertising to all local businesses on our new website! We will be getting a price table done soon for all of you to take a look at. Perhaps each of you can get the word out about this to support the nature center. Advertising online can be really good for many businesses. Especially locally owned mom and pop stores. We get a lot of traffic to our website and will continue to grow as the years come passing by.

 

 

Online Advertising Opportunity with Marketing On Our Site

We started giving advertising opportunities to all of our sponsors for access to our website. The sponsors currently advertise in our museum and arboretum. This will give the opportunity to get in front of people that are interested in history and arboretum visiting. Before these people come visit our center, they go to our website first. Most people are contacting us through the internet first. This makes it a no brainer for people to do some marketing with us online.

Most people will see only the benefit of having their sponsorship in our location. Being in our physical address is good too; but using the internet and physical marketing work in tandem with each other. You need to be in multiple places at once, this is the key to marketing. Any successful marketing company will tell you the same. Being successful at marketing is the key to any business’ success.

 

 

How We Get Search Traffic to our Nature Channel Website

One of the ways we get traffic is through the use of search engines. Search engine optimization (SEO) is one of the best ways of getting organic traffic that will actually convert into customers. Most of our customers come from Google already. Las Vegas SEO services literally puts our website on the first page of google for keywords that have to do with our business. People type a search term into google and it spits back millions of results. Being buried in the search engine is not a good thing for anyone. Even if you don’t own a business, any website will suffer from no traffic. Using google properly will stop this from happening. Being on top of that list means more relevant traffic. More relevant traffic means specifically targeted marketing. You investment savvy people know what I’m talking about!

Another way we get traffic is through the use of pay per click advertising. We use google to advertise in front of people that search specific terms that we aren’t ranking organically for. We also use this for more traffic to our contact us page specifically. People can fill out our contact form and submit information. We’re also selling advertising spots on this page. So if you see the benefit that can come from that, give us a call to be the first ad on the page.

 

 

Why This is Guaranteed to Work for Your Business

Getting more customers for your business through us means only good things due to the fact that it’s highly targeted. Targeting customers that are interested in history, nature, and museums is great. You can get people that are family oriented. You can advertise to people that like visiting places in general. People that have their families come in from out of state. They can bring their family members to our nature center and then to your store! If you own an ice cream store, they are likely to get ice cream after the arboretum! What we need to do is put these customers in categories. After placing all of them in categories we can then split the commission for us depending on what type of customer we bring you.

The way we want to be compensated is only with commission of paid customers to you. You don’t pay us anything to place your ad on our site. You pay only when we bring you a customer. We have proper tracking in place to know which visitors turn into an actual paying customer. We also hope you’ll be honest with us and give us proper commission from reoccurring visits.

Being part of our sponsorship program will bring you so much business you’ll love us forever! We hope to see all of you on board with our team of sponsors soon. This is a great investment for any company that’s trying to expand locally. When we have the sponsors’ ads live, we’ll let you know about the results. If you get in too late, we may not have room. So if you’re interested, call us here: 4129865554.
