LOST: Sitting at home in Marin County, California we both said where to next? So we decided on driving down to Death Valley via Carson Pass and Bishop. We'd stayed in DV in June for only two days so we needed more fix. Booked a room at Stovepipe Wells where we ventured out immediately after breakfast and not returning until dinner.

Dantes View is atop a bluff where the wind will howl and the temps will drop in a nano second. We wanted to hike down and around but could not locate a trail head which was most likely a good indication of DON'T GO THERE! And, we didn't!
