Tecopa hot tub is a small tub located in the town of Tecopa, California near Death Valley National Park. There are two hot spring resorts in town, but also two free pools as well (see the other free pool – Tecopa Mud Hot Springs).

This pool is a short drive away from the resort area and provides a little serenity in the Mojave desert. Keep an eye out for the large palm tree that the pool sits beneath making it stick out in the desert setting.

Pool:
One concrete pool, which fits 4-6 people. The temperature is typically between 95-100 degrees Fahrenheit, but can be a little fickle and warm up beyond this. Be sure to check it before fully entering the pool. Note this pool is clothing optional.

Amenities:
Amenities are limited at this location. There is no camping in the immediate vicinity of the pool; however, there is camping available on nearby public lands.

Note:
This drive can be a little challenging and is not recommended for 2WD after a recent rain. Also please stock up on any necessities while in the town of Tecopa as there are no resources available at the pool.

Camp in the Greenwater Valley in Death Valley NP

Greenwater Valley in the southeast corner of Death Valley National Park is a fantastic representation of the many features that the Park has to offer but without the crowds (and traffic) found in the primary campgrounds like those around Stovepipe Wells and Texas Spring. In addition to being quite large and with almost endless campsites, it is still only a 30 minute drive to Badwater and many o...

Dumont Dunes is an Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) area administered by the Bureau of Land Management as a recreational area for off-road vehicle sports, hiking, camping, rock climbing, and rock collecting.

Photograph Dante's View of Death Valley

In all of Death Valley National Park, Dante's View might just be the best spot to watch the light fade away after a long day. Unfortunately, it is one of the highly missed spots along the Highway 190 Death Valley route. This might be due to the fact that it is about 15 miles off of the highway, but the drive up alone is worth the trip.To get there from Highway 190 in Death Valley, drive east, l...
