Artists Palette and Surrounding Area

This page is not included in the sample version.  Click here to see available pages.

This area of spectacular, multi-colored beauty is one of Death Valley's most popular destinations.  And for good reason.  The unusual geology all along this part of the Black Mountains is impressive but the real gem is Artists Palette.  The breathtaking mosaic of red, pink, green, yellow and violet coloring of the hills here is truly one-of-a-kind!  The paved, one-way road is less than 9 miles long but there's plenty to see.  If you enjoy getting out and doing a little exploring, you could easily spend half a day in this area.
