The
Trail
A dramatically

Peak |
To find the trailhead, walk to the northwest corner of
the kilns' and look for the sign that says the Wildrose Peak trail.
Begin your hike here. The trail will start climbing through a
forest of Pinyon and Juniper for 2.5 miles and then will reach
a broad ridge where you'll be able to get your first good views
of Death Valley.

Continue following the well-beaten trail as it climbs
gradually until you reach the last mile. This is where the
climb really picks up as it switchbacks to the summit. The trail
is safe all the way and your toil will be rewarded with breathtaking
views. Return the way you came.
