description: This valley located next to Death Valley has plenty to do & see if you don't mind getting off the paved roads. If you have a 4 wheel drive you will be in hog heaven with the numerous dirt roads & secluded canyons to explore. There is a half-ass campground with showers at Ballarat, but everything else is "on your own" back road camping. Please prepare yourself for primitive back road desert travel. links of interest: Panamint Springs Resort, California Panamint Valley Days Panamint City, California
