  • Take the time to read the signs as they do an excellent job of telling the story of this operation. Borax has a fascinating history both with the mineral and with those who mined it. Read up on it...

  • Harmony Borax Works has the ruins of 19th century borax mining and processing operation. A short interpretive trail runs around the site. We visited a couple time while staying in Furnace Creek...

  • One of the easy stops to make while in Death Valley. The loop is short and offers some great views up and down the valley. For those who enjoy photography, this is a less frequented stop that you can use to setup some interesting shots at.
  • Nice little stop and only one I could find with historical significance. Awesome spot for stargazing. Bring a chair or a blanket and a flashlight. There were 3 cars there when I got there so if you can, shut off your headlights before the parking lot...I did not.
