Driving Directions

Driving the Byway

• The eastern entrance of Death Valley National Park, roughly 13 miles west of Death Valley Junction on Hwy 190, marks the beginning of the byway.
• The byway continues along Hwy 190 northwest to Furnace Creek, where it begins its arc toward Stovepipe Wells.
• Roughly 10 to 15 miles west of Stovepipe Wells, the road climbs over Towne Pass at an elevation of 4,956 feet. The road then descends into the Panamint Valley past the Panamint Dunes.
• The road will then approach the Panamint Springs Resort. After leaving the resort, the byway ascends into the Argus Mountain Range, to Father Crowley Point with scenic views of the Panamint Range and Valley.
• The byway continues on from Father Crowley Point to the western boundary of Death Valley National Park, marking the end of the byway. From here the highway continues to Hwy 395, the Eastern Sierra State Scenic Byway.
