Off-road Echo Canyon to Inyo Mine, Death Valley National Park, California
Echo Canyon Road is a very fun off-road drive in the Death Valley National Park and is 10 miles to Inyo Mine Start. A high-clearance vehicle is needed for the first 3 miles and then 4x4 is required. The road tends to have deep gravel and is quite rocky 3 miles from the highway.
High-clearance first three miles, 4WD required beyond. Lees Camp Road, which connects to Amargosa Valley, is rough 4WD, requiring short-wheelbase, narrow vehicles. Experienced 4WD drivers only. Vehicle damage is possible going over the dry fall.
Within Echo Canyon’s narrows is the Eye of the Needle, a natural arch. It's located at about the 4.8 mile mark. It was formed by erosion of steeply dipping limestone beds of the Cambrian Bonanza King Formation.
The Inyo Mine’s (private property) old structures and mining equipment are found in the upper canyon.
Due to frequent flooding in the area, road conditions often vary throughout the park. Check the currently known conditions before your trip.
