Death Valley Scenic Byway
Panamint Valley, CA

The Panamint Valley offers expansive, panoramic views across a large playa, the nearly level area at the bottom of the undrained desert basin, and much of the valley. Views across the playa extend over 50 miles to the southern horizon.

Explore the Panamint Mines, but do so at your own risk! These fascinating mines are in the ghost town of Ballarat, which hasn't been a functioning town since 1917, and are some of the area's most poular attractions.
