The Ibex dunes will be your first taste of dirt as you enter Death Valley. You will find a short stretch of dune-type sand to get your heart racing. Harry Wade Road crosses the heart of Death Valley, connecting to Westside Road. You can take a few detours and ride the Artists Palette Loop, 20 Mule Team Road, and Badwater Basin, the lowest elevation in the USA at 282 feet below sea level. 

Furnace Creek and Stovepipe Wells offer camping, lodging, food and fuel. If you plan to stay here, reservations ahead of time are suggested. From here, take the optional Advanced track over Chloride Cliffs for a series of challenging climbs with rewarding views or remain on pavement to Beatty, NV.
