Route Description for Panamint Dunes Trail
As the Panamint Dunes Trail is not along a designated Death Valley National Park trail, care should be taken when attempting. We recommend bringing some sort of mapping tool with you to help aid you in your navigation of the route. It is also recommended that you start the Panamint Dunes Trail earlier in the morning to avoid the intense midday heat.
With your vehicle parked alongside Lake Hill Road, head north towards the Panamint Dunes visible in the foreground. After steadily inclining in elevation, you will eventually reach the sand dunes, where you should take your time and explore. Once you have had a chance to appreciate the beauty of the dunes and their surrounding area, backtrack your steps towards your waiting vehicle on Lake Hill Road.
