9/5/23: Not available due to road damage. nps.gov/deva/planyourvisit/conditions.htm

From Furnace Creek ride a challenging climb to Dante's View, with an option at 10 km for a gravel side trip on Twenty Mule Team Rd (discouraged on this route for all but the strongest fast riders). Descend back to Furnace Creek to resupply, then head south for an out-and-back on Badwater Rd to Artist's Drive. Extremely strong riders may enjoy optionally riding Artist's Drive but make sure you have plenty of time in the bank!

Conditions in Death Valley are extreme! Carry a copious amount of water! Use sun protection!
