Hike Willow Canyon, Death Valley National Park, California

Add to My List Check Off

Willow Canyon trail is a 4.2 miles (6.8km) out and back hike in Death Valley National Park. route isn't very physically demanding, but finding the canyon and seasonal waterfall is a reward that only cross country navigators get to enjoy. No road and no hiking route signage. From the parking area avoid the small foothills and canyons to the east. Instead make your way north/northeast wrapping around the foothills and head toward the deep canyon in the mountains. Most of this route is across the rocky alluvial fan and exposed to the sun. The last 0.25 miles (0.4km) into the narrow canyon is over polished bedrock before ending at the waterfall. An unmarked gravel access road is located on Badwater Road 31.5 miles south of CA-190 between mile markers 31 & 32. The access road is less than 0.5 miles (0.8km) long and is typically passable to a sedan. Same as Sidewinder Canyon.
