    The Golden Canyon to Red Cathedral to Zabriskie Point to Gower Gulch loop hike is the 'best of' hike in Death Valley. It offers classic Death Valley geology, epic viewpoints, a dose of history, and enough mileage to make it a proper hike. If you are only doing one hike at Death Valley, this is the route to pick.

    I think leading hikes where you do and in small groups is the best of both worlds in terms of what you get to see and safety. Thank you for another great video.

      I used to do guided hikes but stopped because the insurance got too crazy as did the logistics of permits.

    Great video. We want to do this hike Thanksgiving 2023, but will do it from Zabriskie to the Golden Canyon parking lot as a one-way shuttle. Two questions: 1) do you know if the trail is still hike-able after flooding? 2) Are the trail markers double sided? ( I know most people do it clockwise)

    • @Hikingguy
      @Hikingguy  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      1 - it's starting to open but check the NPS website for the lates
      2 - some are and some aren't...

    Death Valley is huge. If you drove around it in it it is 800 milles of driving.
    Go to stovepipe wells. Walk up the canyon near it. Do the dunes behind gravel campground. Leave. Go to Owens lake drive into Lone Pine from backside (east).
    Don't waste time here go to Sierra or Bristlecone if want desert. At least it is above 11000 feet.
    I kinda like walking down into the crater and Titus canyon drive. But not as much as White Mountain and Bristlecone or Mammoth Lakes.
    Driven everywhere in it. Trona. Olancha. NV. When you live there you go in November January February. March.
    Cal Shty/Edwards AFB. 5 years. Every weekend. Up 395.
    Then 2 years Bass Lake. 1 year Fresno. Wife 40 years SOCAL girl.
    I don't go to Joshua Tree either. Hit them at Cima Road going to Vegas/Saint George UT. You can drive from California City to Moab in 9.5 hours. Did 10 times. Unless snow.
    On Sunday traffic from Vegas we drove through Death Valley every time rather than sit in it.

  • @sluggotinfantryman
    @sluggotinfantryman 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You want to drive around the desert ho to Arizona Strip BLM.
    Lime Kiln pass to Mount Trumbull to Toroweap. Bam. 4600 miles of roads. 80x200 miles. Plus Grand Canyon attached to it. Zion and Snow Canyon are there too.

    In the video yo mention sunrise for best light but other than up at Zabriskie, wouldn't sunset light up Red Cathedral and Manley Beacon area better for photography? I'm heading there next month and trying to figure out best times for photos. Thanks. Great video BTW!

    i ran this one when it was about 100 degrees which is not hot for death valley , it wasn't that bad, very strange how the temperature dropped once you gained even 100ft of elevation

      Thank you! And not sure about the trees - are they the ancient bristlecone pines?

    • @Bigtreesandthings
      @Bigtreesandthings 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Nope! I guess all I could do is recommend you to TH-cam "biblical giant trees" because it would be absolutely futile for me to explain it to you in a comment. The reason I ask you is because you've seen all types of natural places around the country and are an avid nature lover and would I would love to hear you're perspective. I just came back from death valley by the way. Did golden canyon and they typical death valley stuff with the family because of your vids. Thank you so much

      no a few weeks ago - it usually takes me many hours to edit the video and put the guide together, so usually there's at least a week of lag between when you see a guide and when I actually shot it
