We were disappointed at sunset because the shadows were covering up the colors but once it started to go behind the rock the colors were popping like crazy. Great view.

Colors were just ok (valley of fire was better) but this one-way road is fun to drive. Good stop between Furnace Creek and Badwater.

While driving to the lowest place on earth, we saw Artist's Drive. We stopped on the way back. The colors and textures and layers were just amazing. It is a winding road very near to the rocks. Don't try it with a travel trailer. If you get motion sickness, it may be a tough time. We loved it and took...

After driving from Vegas to Death Valley you get bored of long straight roads that seem to lead to nothing. Artists Drive was a fantastic twisty road surrounded by beautiful views. Definitely worth the time for a look.

This was one of my favorite parts of the park. The paved drive is a blast, the scenery amazing, and overall a very unforgettable experience.

This narrow winding one way road offers spectacular views of the stark but colorful mountains of Death Valley. Jaw dropping beauty at every curve. A must see, especially if you're already stopping by Badwater and the Devils' Golf Course. Plenty of photo-ops so have your camera ready!

This was a nice drive but, being the driver your focus is on the road so I'm pretty sure I missed lots of pretty rock colours. What I did see were lots of twists and switchbacks and exciting dips. We didn't stop to take photos because its a narrow one way road. It doesn't detour far from Badwater road so...
