Last Chance Mountain Details

The 8,674-foot Last Chance Mountain is in the northern end of Death Valley National Park, in the Last Chance Range. Hikers who seek to summit this peak will welcome the shade provided by the junipers and pinyon pines on its higher-elevation flanks. The Last Chance Spring is the starting point for one of two popular routes to the top of Last Chance Mountain, and the more easily accessed (the other is at an old sulphur mine at the end of a 27-mile road).
