This Highlight goes through a protected area
Please check local regulations for: Death Valley Wilderness
The Emigrant Pass East climb in Death Valley ascends the quieter Emigrant Canyon Road, taking you into remote, starkly beautiful desert mountains. Prepare for a long 13-14 mile and very steady ascent gaining over 3000ft to the 5318ft pass, averaging a moderate and consistent 4.5% gradient. The primary challenge here is the extreme Death Valley environment: intense heat and relentless sun with virtually no shade.
