Lippincott Road in Death Valley National Park

One of the most thrilling trails in Death Valley National Park is Lippincott Pass. With its single-track shelf roads, it's considered one of the most dangerous roads to travel through Death Valley. There are signs stating that a high clearance 4x4 vehicle is a minimum and that tow services will not come to rescue your vehicle.

Although I state the trail starts at Racetrack Playa, the road is not considered one-way. You may also start from Saline Valley road. You will hope there will be no opposing traffic since the road can get very tight./

Is it dangerous? I've traveled through here twice with several vehicles. Last time I was there, at least two sections of the road were washed out leaving the path less than the average width of an SUV. Driving with caution and a lifted vehicle should be enough to get you through. The first time I was here, there was a stranded rental minivan with a trail of transmission fluid behind it. Passengers were not at the scene.

In this 2019 video, I was driving our 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Always be prepared and check the Death Valley website for road conditions and closures.
