I am a photographer. So visiting Death Valley without seeing the Racetrack would be unthinkable. I have researched the reason why does it take so long to get there. Knowing the tough road conditions … Isaac W的完整评论

If like me you heard about this place as a kid and always wondered what it was like - it’s exactly how you imagine only better. I have been to Death Valley lots of times but only made it here this y… pauldB7564MD的完整评论

We saw the phenomenon close to Pantamint Springs at Dry Lakebed Road. The ground feels like leather--so cool. elizabeth k的完整评论
Hi, I plan to visiot racetrack soon. I see ppl are saying vandalism in racetrack, especially seeing few rocks. I'm worry about getting them and not seeing moving rocks. Could somebody confirm ?

Vandalism is in the middle of the playa. There are rocks but they aren't giant boulders, more like sizes of footballs and basketballs. And yes there aren't that many, some have been moved or stolen. For what it takes to get out there, there are other stops in DV in my opinion much more worthwhile.
Hi there, did you have to hike to the racetrack where you see those large huge slided rocks? If yes, how long and strenuous was the hike? where did you rent your high clearance vehicle? How much was it? Thank you!

Plenty of answers above. But to specifically answer your question, once you get to the Playa, there is a road you can take heading opposite of the Grand Stand, where you can park and then go onto the Playa itself. There are berms along the edges to keep vehicles from getting onto the Playa to preserve it. So you park at the end and then go onto the Playa and walk over to the rocks. The Playa is very large, and you're free to hike over to the Grand Stand or off to the side where there is another area to explore. Bring plenty of water as its very arid out there. In August/September the temps are still very high. Also because the Playa is open terrain wear a nice brimmed hat and long sleeves and pants to keep the sun from burning you, too. The hike itself is not strenuous except for the heat and distance. But its flat land (that's why its called a Playa). Rental of high clearance vehicles is really something you have to shop for. THere are no car rental agencies in Death Valley. I rented an SUV in Vegas that had some clearance but not enough. On another trip I got lucky with a 4x4 Toyota 4-Runner from Enterprise also in Las Vegas, and it had more clearance. They recommend 10 to 18 inch clearance for some tough terrain. The ride out from Ubehebe Crater or from Hunter Mountain is fraught with large rocks and sharp objects that can cause a flat so bring spare tires. I also suggest making sure you have the best tow insurance around because a tow out of that area is going to cost $1,000 or more.
What route would be better to the racetrack playa. Saline valley rd or racetrack rd?

The road up from Saline Valley is probably the worst road in DVNP, which is saying a lot, because it has been closed from "major" landslides, and is plagued with these over many years off and on. The Switchbacks are epic in their sharpness and shortness. Of course the Ranger Station at Furnace Creek will have the latest scoop. My wife and I made it up to about 3000 feet from Saline Valley, and the landslide was completely impassible and looked impossible for a lizard to climb. On some maps and my GPS, it's called "Ubehebe Road". But the proper name is "Lippincott Mine Road", and the latest Google Search will back me up. I have gone down twice in years past, and the ride was both stunning and frightening. Going off would be likely fatal. Ah... the stupidity of my youth. "Best Answer": Go there from the Craters, and GO NICE AND SLOW to protect your tires as the rocks are sharp. Don't be afraid to take all day for the whole trip. P.S., Hiking the Racetrack Playa by yourself is a beautiful and great lesson in the word "solitude". Best of luck.
Hi, I have a BMW SUV 5X. Could it be used to drive on the racetrack trail in the death valley? Thanks a lot!

You don't need 4WD on that road, not even high clearance. It WILL rattle you around pretty good, but people do it with sedans. The major thing you ABSOLUTELY MUST have, on any vehicle on that road, is GOOD TIRES with a healthy thread since you are driving some sections over rocks with rough edges. So the tires are basically the major issue to get you there.
