Death Valley National Park
Father Crowley
Point
After you've cut across
the Panamint valley (a smaller, but similarly desolate version of Death
Valley), you will once again climb through another mountain range. At
the top, watch for the turnoff to Father Crowley Point.
The best view is just a
short drive off the main road. However, I found the dirt surface to be
so poorly maintained, I chose to walk instead of drive the last few
hundred feet.
However you get there, the view is worth it. From the viewpoint you can
catch one more glimpse of the Panamint Mountains in the distance.
Look north, and you can
see the Panamint Sand Dunes. Sand is trapped near the north end of the
valley. You'll have to view the dunes from a distance, though, since there
are no roads that come close.
The viewpoint also gives
you a good view of the winding road you just traveled.
