Gas at Furnace Creek is $2-3 more than either Stovepipe Wells or even cheaper in Beatty, as that is Nevada. Only regular at Stovepipe, no diesel or premium. I recommend not planning to drive as far as possible every day. Don't try to see everything in one trip, there is always next year to come back and go on another loop. Stop somewhere and hike around, take your time to go into mines and walk around old mill sites. I never spend time around Furnace Creek as you can go back there some day with your wife and stay in the hotel and explore with all the other tourists. Go out to Lippincott mine, hike the racetrack, go over to Lost Burro Mine, go up to the White Top Mountain dead end, lots of stuff to explore but not at 55 on your way to somewhere else. I have probably been out there 20 times in the last 22 years and have been many places.
Great advice thank you. Completely agree.
We will probably skip echo canyon this trip to leave more time for other things and just chilling. There will be kids so don't want them to suffer in the vehicle all day.
Probably do Mengel Pass into the park, then Titus Canyon another day, then the Racetrack and Lippincott out to 395 another day. With sightseeing, hikes, etc to fill in the gaps.
