Help deciding on Death Valley one day drive through stops
Hello,
We will be driving later this week from Pahrump, NV through Death Valley and spend the night in June Lake, CA. This is my rough itinerary: Pahrump-->Death Valley Junction-->Dantes View-->Zabriskie Pt-->Furnace Creek-->Badwater--> Harmony Borax Works-->Scottys Castle-->Stove pipe Wells-->Panamint Springs-->June Lake.. Anthing I need to include or omit? Doable in one day in this high heat? We won't be doing any hiking. Thanks for your quick response. Sorry for the last minute post. |
I just read where Scotty's Castle is closed due to damage from a flood in October. Bummer.

Artist's Drive is my favorite thing to do in Death Valley. It's about nine miles south of Furnace Creek.
Death Valley is full of visual surprises. We just enjoying staying on the road and taking in the surroundings. We once had a good buffet lunch at Wrangler Steakhouse at Furnace Creek Ranch. HTtY PS Yes, Scotty's Castle is closed due to flooding. It isn't very grand, but the story of the people who lived there is interesting. I wouldn't urge any of my friends to make much of a detour to see it. |
Thanks, happytrailstoyou. You made me feel better about missing Scotty's Castle.
Putting Artist's Drive on my list! |
You wouldn't have had time for Scotty's castle, anyway.
