From Beatty to Death Valley

Road from Beatty to Death Valley

OK, it's time to leave Rhyolite behind and begin the journey into Death Valley. The road stretches out before you for several miles, until you cross into the park.

Road from Beatty to Death Valley

Once you pass the Death Valley sign, the flat, uneventful stretch of the journey ends. The road takes you through roller-coaster style dips, then twists its way into the Amargosa Mountains.

Tip:

After you enter the park, the road quality declines. You might think the 45 mile per hour speed limit is too slow for desert travel, but the crumbling, bumpy pavement and sharp curves make it a necessity.

Here's an interesting fact I learned at one of the visitor's centers. The sign pictured above is an old style, used at entrances to the park back in the 1980's, when it was a National Monument. Signs at all entrances have been updated, except the Beatty entrance, where you can still see the "classic" version.
