Howard, you mention at the bottom that the sites suggested by Kron
were far apart. I'll be staying in Tecopa Hot Springs which is
just outside the south east end of the park near Shoshone. How far
would that be to Furnace Creek and StovePipe Wells,
Bogdan, it is about 70 miles from Tecopa Hot Springs to Furnace Creek
(going 127 to 178 and up through Badwater) Longer if 127 to Death
Valley Junction and then west on 190. About 30 mi from DV Junction to
Furnace Creek.
From Furnace Creek - Badwater is about 15 mi, Dante's View about 20
mi and Zabriski Point is just a few miles. Stovepipe Wells Village
is about 25 miles from Furnace Creek - nice big dunes at Stovepipe
wells.
From where 190, 267, and 374 meet (about 20 mi N of Furnace Creek)
Beatty NV and Rhyolite are about 30 and 25 miles east. From the same
point it is 35 miles to the North Entry Station - 5 miles from
Scotty's Castle and 5 miles to Ubehebe Crater. Racetrack Valley Road
is 28 miles one way from Ubehebe Crater Road.
Fuel is available at Furnace Creek, Stovepipe Wells Village and
Scotty's Castle.
One good topo map is the _Death Valley National Park_ map published
by National Geographic and Trails Illustrated. ISBN 0-925873-68-3.
Trails Illustrated www.colorado.com/trails . Copies of the map
should be available in the park visitors center - probably on Amazon
etc.
