Explore the Breathtaking Beauty of Death Valley Wilderness

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, you can reach Death Valley Wilderness from Furnace Creek, which is a central location in Death Valley National Park. From Furnace Creek, head north on CA-190 for about 9 miles. Then, turn left onto Echo Canyon Road. Continue on Echo Canyon Road for approximately 2 miles until you reach the entrance to the Death Valley Wilderness area. Be sure to have a map or GPS device handy, as cell service can be limited in the park. There are no fees specifically for entering the wilderness area, but do check for any park entrance fees that may apply.

• Public Transportation + Hiking

  Public transportation options in Death Valley National Park are quite limited. If you do not have a car, consider booking a shuttle service from Las Vegas to Death Valley. Once you arrive at Furnace Creek, you can arrange for a guided tour or hike. A local tour operator may provide transportation to the Echo Canyon area. Be prepared for a hike, as the wilderness area is best explored on foot. Confirm details with the tour operator about costs and transportation options beforehand.

• Bicycle

  For the more adventurous, biking is an option if you are already in the Furnace Creek area. Rent a bicycle from a local rental service. Start at Furnace Creek and cycle north on CA-190, then turn onto Echo Canyon Road. The ride is approximately 11 miles one way. Ensure you bring plenty of water, sun protection, and snacks, as this can be a physically demanding route. Be mindful of traffic and road conditions, and check for availability of bike rentals in advance.
