Historic Stovepipe Well Trail Description
There is no shade along Historic Stovepipe Well Trail, so it is important that you protect yourself from the effects of the sun by wearing sunscreen and drinking plenty of water. We also recommend doing the Historic Stovepipe Well Trail earlier to beat the intense midday heat of Death Valley National Park.
Having parked your vehicle along Stovepipe Wells Road, simply walk out to the historic well sight that is visible from the road. Spend some time admiring the artifacts and taking in the views before backtracking your steps towards your waiting vehicle.
