Dante's View ~ Death Valley National Park

Dante's View is one of the most famous scenic overlooks in Death Valley National Park and it is easy to access. The road to this destination is located a few miles easy of Furnace Creek on Highway 190 and the signage is easy to spot. This side road is paved and there is a large parking area on site. However, the final leg to the top of the mountain is a steep grade with tight turns, so those who drive large RV campers or trailers may have to park and hike to the end point. At the end of the line is Dante's View, which is perched atop Coffin Peak about a mile above the floor of Death Valley.

The panoramic views of Death Valley from from this lofty overlook are nothing less than spectacular to see. This vantage point offers easy access for physically challenged visitors, so practically anybody can enjoy this famous overlook. A picnic area is located nearby, so spending extra time with friends and family is easy to do. Better still, there is a foot path that goes to the edge of the mountain top that offers nearly 360 degrees of unobstructed views of Death Valley way down below. Dante's View is one of the most famous scenic overlooks in the entire west, so be sure to chalk this one up when doing the grand tour!
