Panamint Dunes Trail Details
The star-shaped Panamint Dunes spread across the upper end of the remote Panamint Valley: it's a 3-mile hike across country to reach the dunes, and you'll need a high-clearance vehicle to reach the trailhead on an unmarked dirt road five miles north of Highway 190. Your solitude may be interrupted by low flying military jets, which practice over the Panamint Valley.
