Panamint Dunes
You can do this as a day trip and just wander the dunes, but I really enjoyed the overnight with great evening views, amazing stargazing, and a sunrise exploration of the sand dunes. For an overnight trip I recommend you start hiking later in the day, when the temperature is a bit cooler.
If you're going for an overnight adventure you will need to pick up a (free) permit from the visitor's cen...
Hike to Darwin Falls
Yes, you saw this right, it's a waterfall in Death Valley. This magical oasis has water flowing year round and is found in the driest place in North America. Death Valley is full of amazing places, but this should be on everyone's to-do list! It's a short hike that quickly rewards you with a place to escape the heat and a beautiful secluded area.While there is no official trail to Darwin falls ...

Father Crowley Overlook is an easily missed overlook on the western edge of Death Valley National Park off State Highway 190 overlooking Panamint Valley.

From LA, take highway 395 and meet up with the 178 in Ridgecrest, CA and enter on the eastern side of the park or enter on the western side of ...
Explore Skidoo Road
Skidoo Road is the first dirt road on the left you encounter when driving Emigrant Canyon Road. The road is suitable for any car until you reach an old mine on the right atop a hill. Directly to the left is a prospector's wood cabin. Both are in very good condition and worthy of a stop to check out.
Beyond this point the road makes a sharp left. After this point, a high clearance vehicle is...
Explore Aguereberry Camp
Pete Agueberry came Death Valley in 1905. After a legal battle, Pete gained control of the Eureka Mine in 1909. He worked the mine alone for nearly 40 years before his death. The original cabin that Pete lived in is still on the site. The buildings in the front were built in the 1940's as guest houses. These buildings seem to have more items intact. One building still has a water heater and old...
