Artists Palette Overlook
0.57 Miles
120 AEG
Short hike to Artists Palace Lookout to get a view of the artist palette. Sun had not come over the mountains yet so colors were not popping yet
Artists Palette
1.4 Miles
359 AEG
Took a tour of the Artists Palette checking out different side canyons trying to take in all the color we could
Ubehebe Crater
2.97 Miles
986 AEG
The word Ubehebe (U-BEE-HEE-BEE) is Native American in origin and means "big basket in the rock."
Ubehebe is well worth the drive to get to it.
it's a must do for any trip to Death Valley. Even if you do not want to make the 600'plunge into belly of the crater and then the loose climb out (in .25 miles), take the rim trail around Ubehebe and Little Hebe. The geology in this area is different from the rest of the park.

Devils Cornfield
We had some time so we explored "The Cornfield" and a bit of the dunes.
Mesquite Dunes
This is a popular area and gets busy with the sunset views. We hiked out to the tallest dune, because we had to. We only accumulated 262' of gain, but climbing in sand makes it seem closer to 900'
Next off to Stovepipe Wells for a campsite, shower and stock up at the general store. |
