Description: There is really no trail here, park anywhere on the road in front of the sand dunes and find your way to the tallest dune. This hikes is irresistible, if you visit Death Valley you will want to stop the car as soon as they are within view and start walking. Walk from the road towards the tallest sand dune and enjoy the experience. Plan to do this hike late in the afternoon when the sun is not as high and intense.
