Wildrose Peak Trail
Wildrose Peak Trail provides grand views of Death Valley to the east and Panamint Valley to the west. It is a somewhat strenuous hike that can be completed in half a day, and is an attractive option for those looking to gain some perspective on the lowest point in North America.
Mosaic Canyon
Not far from Stovepipe Wells, Mosaic Canyon is a moderate hike where you choose how far you want to go. With wide washes, sections of narrow canyon with marbled walls, and even some dry falls to scramble up and over, there is a lot to like about this hike. Perfect for the whole family, children can run around and climb on the sloped walls while their parents enjoy lunch on a marble slab in the cool shade.
Mesquite Flat Dunes
The most popular and accessible dune system in the park, the Mesquite Dunes are an adult sand box where the trail is wherever you walk and you can go as far as your heart desires. Not to be missed, the dunes are an excellent spot to walk the sunrise or set or even enjoy a full moon trek to the highest dune which reaches approximately 100 feet.
Badwater Basin Salt Flats
Chances are that if you have heard of Death Valley, you know about the salt flats located in Badwater Basin. With an elevation of -282 ft below sea level, it is the lowest place in North America and well worth a visit – even if it is just to say you have survived one of the most barren and inhospitable places on earth.
