Great view on the valley. Worth the driving from Furnace Creek. Don't miss it. Road to the top of the mountain is beautiful.

Definitely don't miss this stop. Bring a picnic and spend some time gazing over the scenery in the relative cool.

It's a special thing when you can stand over a mile high at the edge of Death Valley looking nearly straight down at the lowest point in America, "Badwater" at minus 292 feet below sea level. "Wow" was our first impression and it was similar to the reaction we felt when first gazing across Crater Lake Rim and The Grand... More

Its well worth the drive up to Dante's View in Death Valley. The paved road which zig zags a bit for the last few miles and is not recommend for vehicles over 25ft climbs up to 5500ft above sea level. At the top it provides a superb panoramic view of Death Valley below at 282ft below sea level. It can... More

The drive is really nice and it's much cooler at the top. It is a nice break from the heat not to mention the amazing view.

The previous reviews are pretty old, 2011. Well, let me update this, it is end of May 2013 and this attraction is still breathtaking. It's a superb ride and view, especially if you ride a motorcycle. Me and a friend rented bikes for Vegas and took this long tour through California, Arizona and Bavada and I am so glad we... More

It always amazes me how often in USA you can simply drive right up to everything. We came to the top of the drive and hardly needed to get out of the car to see the view. There's a good short walk along the ridge but you don't need to do see the salt flats below.

Dantes view - off IS-190 - definitely worth the detour (1 road in and out) absolutely stunning views of Death Valley - the highlight of the day- excellent photo opportunities! You have to see it to understand how amazing it is... Photos just don't do it justice!!! There were toilets available here but didn't use them so not sure how... More

Long drive up - an amazing road considering it goes to nothing more than a view. But a great view nonetheless. The walk out at the top is worth it and you need sturdy shoes. Weather wasn't great when I visited, so will have to return.

I don't want to sound cliche here but, well, deal with it... You realize here how small we are in comparison to the grand scale of nature. There, I said it. This place is breath-taking and stunning. The view is fantastic, you have everything stretched out before you. It was very hot when we went but that made the scenery... More
