This incredible drive starts at the southern end of Death Valley National Park, just off the road to Dante’s View, which is epic! The arid desert climate provides spectacular views of the Black Mountains to the west, and Greenwater Range to the east!

Camping is allowed along the dirt roads, however, you will need a permit click here for the link to the permit. The road itself is well maintained with a few small rocky sections, but any high-clearance vehicle can make it, 4WD is not necessary.

In case you didn’t know, Death Valley is the hottest place on Earth! So stay away from this region during the summer months, and always check the conditions before you go as the temperature can get up to 130 degrees.
