Oops. Yes, I meant to say Towne Pass which is on the main highway into Death Valley -- it is on CA State Highway 190. The Wildrose road is a beautiful drive -- mostly paved -- lots of washouts over the years -- but it can't be driven at anything approaching highway speeds -- and given the time parameters I would recommend that first-timers stay on the state highway and explore Death Valley in that way.

Towne Pass is still gorgeous -- it is used to test air conditioning systems on new cars each summer!

Good catch SW Dave!
