There's a flat rate to get into the area, you can park pretty much wherever you want except on the dunes, there are a few out houses scattered around the site but the area is very remote and desolate. If you're staying longer than a few hours make sure you have plenty of supplies and water. I went out with the 4 x 4 truck but it weighs so much I would sink into the sand so we drove around the perimeter watched other people have fun and climbed up a few Sandune's to take pictures. Even though we were only there for a few hours it was absolutely worth it to be able to drive on and around such large sand dunes For those that have off-road toys it's an absolute must visit place!!

I really wanted to walk in the glorious saltwater. We were there on a Thursday and this place was hopping with people. I had forgot that spring breaks have begun. We eventually found a place to park and made our way out to the water via the boardwalk that heads out. We all know that Badwater Basin is the lowest point in the USA. It is 282 feet below sea level and it sure was pretty. The basin normally does not have water, but with all the rain California received this winter the water was almost up to my shins. The saltwater flats cover over 200 miles. The basin includes sodium chloride, gypsum, borax, and calcite. The best part of the visit was that by the time I stepped out of all that saltwater, my feet were so soft. It was truly a natural exfoliation for the feet. Be respectful and leave your pets at home as they are only allowed on designated dirt roads. Most of all LEAVE NO TRACE and Happy Adventuring.

The site is lost now but I saw the remnants of the homes and believe it is possible. Please visit our town and enjoy the beauty of this place.

I loved visiting the Tecopa cemetery because it was this amazing, beautiful and peaceful place. One thing that I really envy about the desert people is that they really try and go for the more natural burial. i think it is a beautiful thing to bury your loved ones on the top of hills and in a more 'natural" site.

I love the little bit of climbing we can do, the views we find, and as always, the people who come with us. I haven't visited this trail in so long, so I don't have fresh or new commentary. It's been over 8 years since I've been here. All the photos I see I shared here are with my old dog, who passed away, and maybe one day I'll return with my current dog.

Since there isn't really an official trail to follow, I'm glad that I had someone who knew where to go. Even though it's June, there is still snow in parts of Mount Charleston due to the amount of rain that we had in the past few months. The snow is melting, so there was lots of water to see on this hike, which I loved. My friend, her dog, and I crossed quite a few areas with running water, so I was glad to have waterproof boots. It was also helpful to have hiking poles, as there were parts of the trek that they came in handy, notably when we encountered some snow to get to the falls. Big Falls itself did not disappoint; it's a beautiful sight! We had it to ourselves, too, which made this hike even better. We did see a couple of people on our way back to the parking area, but it's definitely not crowded like Mary Jane Falls or Cathedral Rock. Our hike was about 3.2 miles round-trip. Be advised that the amount of running water will depend on the weather and time of year; our timing was just right today.
