Death Valley Scenic Byway
Artist's Drive, CA

Artist Drive is one of the most fantastic drives through California, leading to Artist's Palette. See for yourself why visitors and geologists alike are fascinated by this natural wonder. With limestone, hematite, and other chemically altered volcanic ash in hues of pink, lavender, blue, red and green, you'll be astounded by the close-up view of this "painted" desert.

Artist Drive is the best way to get great photographs of Artist Palette. See how the colors blend together to look eerily natural in the normally neutral landscape.
