Owls Head Mountains / Microwave Tower Road

This easy 4x4 backcountry route is the only access to the remote Owlshead Mountains in the extreme southwestern corner of Death Valley National Park. It is perhaps the most remote backcountry road in the Park and far from much else. Wide open vistas with unusual geologic formations and the possibility of observing military aircraft training await you. You will climb nearly 4000 feet in elevation with stunning scenery along the route with the possibility of spotting wild burros and desert bighorn sheep.
