Route Description for Salt Creek Interpretive Trail
Short, accessible and without elevation incline, the Salt Creek Interpretive Trail is an appropriate route for all skill levels, and families with young children. That being said, little to no shade exists throughout the route, so it is suggested you wear lots of sunscreen, and a good hat. Likewise, Death Valley National Park can become very hot, so make sure you are drinking lots of water!
