[RBW] Anyone know about cycling Death Valley

2017-11-06 Thread Christopher Cote
I didn't realize Scotty's Castle was still closed. I heard about the damage 
back when it happened, but I figured it would be open now. I just read up on it 
at the NPS website, and the extent of the damage. Wow.

[RBW] Anyone know about cycling Death Valley

2017-11-06 Thread Jonathan Neve
I rode there last week, from Badwater Basin to the peak of White Mountain. 
Cached water along the way at a few different spots. Temperature range was 
28-99 degrees. 

Here’s a link to the Strava file: https://www.strava.com/activities/1253071477

Scotty’s Castle is closed due to crazy flooding, unfortunately. However, I 
loved the route we took to get to White. We didn’t see any cars between mile 40 
and mile 165. Great place to (carefully) have a bike adventure.

[RBW] Anyone know about cycling Death Valley

I spent a week there in 2011, but on a motorcycle, not a bicycle. I'll echo 
previous sentiments about the scale of the place. It's huge. And steep. You're 
either climbing or descending one side or the other at all times. Check the NPS 
road reports they put out each morning. Weather can be dramatic. 

I think I liked the Panamint range side, and Panamint valley the best. Panamint 
springs campground is a good base camp. Ballarat is pretty cool. There's old 
mining cabins outside the park you can stay in. No power or water, though. 

Scotty's Castle is worth a visit.

Have fun and post some pics when you get back!

I'll be taking the Hunqapillar, Roadeo and either the Hilsen or MAP out there 
for some camping and cycling here in the next couple of weeks camping and doing 
a lot of riding. Any advice?
