Fodor's Expert Review Darwin Falls
Death Valley National Park
Fodor's Choice
Although some scrambling is involved, this 2-mile round-trip hike rewards you with a refreshing year-round waterfall surrounded by thick vegetation and a rocky gorge. No swimming or bathing is allowed, but it's a beautiful place for a picnic. Adventurous hikers can climb higher toward more rewarding views of the falls. The trail is unmarked so follow the water's edge. Some sections of the trail are not passable for those with mobility issues. Moderate.
