Harmony Borax Works in Death Valley
Harmony Borax Works in Death Valley
Mustard Canyon Rd timelapse Furnace Creek Death Valley CA Las Vegas off road
Mustard Canyon Rd starts in the Harmony Borax works area and continues to Rt190. It's a very well maintained and pleasant one way drive that shows visitors a glimpse of the park they would be unable to otherwise see.
Exploring the Death Valley Area: Death Valley Junction to Panamint Springs
This piece is a bit long so bear with me. Even having edited almost twenty minutes of footage, I thought the story would suffer cutting any more.
This actually begins at Death Valley Junction and ends at Panamint Springs. Two places many people don't even know about! It's another semi-abandoned adventure!
Death Valley Junction, near the northern end of the Amargosa Valley, was a transportation hub for 20 Mule Teams and following that era, was served by two railroads; the Tonopah and Tidewater and the Death Valley Railroad prior to the huge borax discovery at Boron. Death Valley and the Amargosa Valley were once the primary source of borax in America.
Panamint Springs is a little known desert resort with rooms and camping at the northwestern edge of the Panamint Valley on highway 190. The small restaurant and bar serves great food. Although a bit pricey, it is worth the drive and the ambiance!
So, join Jennifer and me as we take the back road home from Vegas through Death Valley Junction, Furnace Creek (The Ranch at Death Valley), Harmony Borax Works, The Devil's Cornfield, Mesquite Dunes, into Panamint Valley over Townes Pass and finally to Panamint Springs for dinner!

Death Valley - Road Trip
Da Lone Pine prendiamo la strada per la Valle della Morte. La strada è deserta, come il paesaggio circostante.
La Valle della Morte è un parco situato nello Stato della California e in piccola parte nel Nevada, a poco più di 200 km a nord-ovest di Las Vegas; è conosciuta per una delle depressioni più profonde dell'emisfero settentrionale con i suoi 86 metri sotto il livello del mare nel punto più basso.
La Valle della Morte si è vista riconoscere lo status di Parco Nazionale soltanto nel 1994; è uno degli scenari più particolari di tutti gli Stati Uniti.
Sebbene si presenti come un ambiente arido e inadatto alla vita, la Valle della Morte rappresenta un ecosistema importantissimo.
Fra le sue dune di sabbia, le sue gole di pietra, i suoi crateri spenti, pullula una varietà di flora e fauna, compresi alcuni rari esemplari endemici.
Qui, in Inverno, può essere molto freddo e in estate il caldo raggiunge temperature davvero pericolose
per la sopravvivenza umana.
Il record è rappresentato dai 57° C nel 1913.
Una volta entrati nel Parco, pian piano la strada comincia a scendere e la temperatura…a salire:
come se si stesse lentamente scendendo all’inferno.
Ci fermiamo alle Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes: questa è la prima meta della Valle della Morte, le dune di sabbia un pezzo di Sahara trapiantato in America.
Attenzione ai cartelli che consigliano di non addentrarsi nel deserto dopo le 10 di mattina.
Purtroppo, noi, come tutti i turisti, arriviamo dopo le 10, e camminiamo sulla sabbia per 5, 10 minuti, solo per qualche foto.
Dopo questa pausa proseguiamo il tragitto verso l’oasi di Furnace Creek
Furnace Creek è un luogo storico della Valle ed è qui, dopo la scoperta di depositi di borace, che si avviò l'estrazione su larga scala di borace nella Valle della Morte.
Ci fermiamo presso la Death Valley - Harmony Borax Works.
L’Harmony Borax Works è diventato famoso per il Twenty-mule teams, squadre di diciotto muli e due cavalli attaccati a due grandi carri che trasportavano il borace dalle miniere attraverso il deserto del Mojave sino alla ferrovia più vicina. Oltre ai due carri c’era un carro cisterna come scorta d’acqua durante il percorso. Tra carri e animali la carovana raggiungeva la lunghezza di ben 55 metri.
Prossima tappa, Zabriskie Point.
Zabriskie Point un tempo era un lago, oggi è una terra plissettata risultato di millenni di sedimentazione ed erosione che formarono i caratteristici calanchi dorati su cui poi si posarono le ceneri vulcaniche.
Zabriskie Point è di una bellezza disarmante, da perdere il fiato, nel senso letterale del termine.
Eccoci ora al Golden Canyon. Ci troviamo a 3 miglia a sud di Fornace Creek, qui c'è un trail di quasi 2miglia, che attraversa un piccolo canyon con formazioni rocciose di colore giallo.
Nel Golden Canyon, sono state girate alcune scene della saga di Star Wars.
Proseguiamo per Devil's Golf Course.
Devil's Golf Course, letteralmente campo da golf del diavolo, è uno strato di sale, in gran parte cloruro di sodio, spesso tra 1 e 2 m circa, che si estende per 64 km di lunghezza e per 8 km di larghezza, in tutto circa 518 kmq.
Dopo aver pranzato in auto con l’aria condizionata a 1000, andiamo ora a Badwater Besin Basin.
Badwater è la località più bassa degli Stati Uniti.
Questo è un lago salato a -86 m sul livello del mare
Si tratta del lago preistorico Manly ormai prosciugato.
Lo scenario è di una bellezza ultraterrena, un paesaggio quasi lunare, dove si vive un’atmosfera unica e un silenzio misterioso.
Qui il caldo è insopportabile, non abbiamo un termometro, ma alcuni italiani parlano di 50°
Rientriamo in auto e ripartiamo per Artist's Drive.
Artist's Drive è un loop da percorrere in automobile su una strada a senso unico, che sale sulle pendici dei monti, con splendido affaccio sulle collinette dipinte di una tavolozza incredibile: azzurro, verde, rosa e ocra.
I colori delle rocce, sono dovuti all’ossidazione di diversi metalli.
Infatti, queste rocce sono la prova che nel passato ci fu un periodo di origine vulcanica violento nella zona.
Purtroppo la nostra visita alla Death Valley termina qui e dobbiamo rimetterci in marcia per Las Vegas
Per la strada facciamo sosta in un’area di servizio che ci fa capire che non siamo lontani dall’Area 51
E poi via per Las Vegas

Zabriskie Point, Death Valley National Park, Mojave Desert, California, USA, North America
Zabriskie Point is a part of Amargosa Range located in east of Death Valley in Death Valley National Park in the United States noted for its erosional landscape. It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago long before Death Valley came into existence. The location was named after Christian Brevoort Zabriskie, vice-president and general manager of the Pacific Coast Borax Company in the early 20th century. The company's twenty-mule teams were used to transport borax from its mining operations in Death Valley. Millions of years prior to the actual sinking and widening of Death Valley and the existence of Lake Manly (see Geology of the Death Valley area), another lake covered a large portion of Death Valley including the area around Zabriskie Point. This ancient lake began forming approximately nine million years ago. During several million years of the lake's existence, sediments were collecting at the bottom in the form of saline muds, gravels from nearby mountains, and ashfalls from the then-active Black Mountain volcanic field. These sediments combined to form what we today call the Furnace Creek Formation. The climate along Furnace Creek Lake was dry, but not nearly as dry as in the present. Camels, mastodons, horses, carnivores, and birds left tracks in the lakeshore muds, along with fossilized grass and reeds. Borates, which made up a large portion of Death Valley's historical past were concentrated in the lakebeds from hot spring waters and alteration of rhyolite in the nearby volcanic field. Weathering and alteration by thermal waters are also responsible for the variety of colors represented there. Regional mountains building to the west influenced the climate to become more and more arid, causing the lake to dry up, and creating a dry lake. Subsequent widening and sinking of Death Valley and the additional uplift of today's Black Mountains tilted the area. This provided the necessary relief to accomplish the erosion that produced the badlands we see today. The dark-colored material capping the badland ridges (to the left in the panoramic photograph) is lava from eruptions that occurred three to five million years ago. This hard lava cap has retarded erosion in many places and possibly explains why Manly Beacon, the high outcrop to the right, is much higher than other portion of the badlands. Manly Beacon was named in honor of William L. Manly, who along with John Rogers, guided members of the ill-fated Forty-niners out of Death Valley during the gold rush of 1849. The primary source of borate minerals gathered from Death Valley's playas is Furnace Creek Formation. The Formation is made up of over 5000 feet (1500 m) of mudstone, siltstone, and conglomerate. The borates were concentrated in these lakebeds from hot spring waters and altered rhyolite from nearby volcanic fields.

Furnace Creek Resort RV Park & Campground
A quick tour of the Furnace Creek Resort RV Park & Campground. Great location, nice RV park, but the spaces are a little close together. Much cheaper than the hotel rooms though, bring your own food and cook, the restaurants aren't that great.
Death Valley RV trip February 2013
RV trip to Death Valley National Park: Mosaic Canyon, 4wheel drive to Emigrant Canyon - Wildrose, Aguereberry Point, Tucki Mine, and also Artists Drive, hiking near Zabriskie Point, Salt Creek Interpretive Center, Harmony Borax Works, Mustard Canyon, and Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes. We stopped at Red Canyon State Park for lunch on the way home.
Death Valley National Park: Furnace Creek Stables
During our last visit to Death Valley National Park in November 2019, we decided to visit the Furnace Creek Stables. They offer a number of horseback tours and we chose the 2 hour morning ride that took us across the flats and then up into the foothills. These are a few stills and video clips from our morning ride.
We highly recommend the Furnace Creek Stables. Great friendly staff, the horses are fantastic, and the views are unreal.
