Anticrepusculars Old Stovepipe Well

[DeathValleyDazed]

You can also find segments of the old Rhyolite-Skidoo road in the canyon on the way to Daylight Pass; on the other side of Daylight Pass you can easily spot it heading straight for Rhyolite. This particular tangent was widened for use by Old Dinah, the old steam tractor displayed in front of the old Furnace Creek Ranch resort complex (I don’t know if it’s still there or where it is after the transformation of the resort).

In the canyon above Beatty Junction are remains of several of the telephone poles of the Rhyolite-Skidoo telephone line as well.

Hey DAW89446, I am unaware of Val Nolan's grave but will look into it. Thanks for the detail. I believe Old Dinah is now on the west side of the old general store at what used to be Furnace Creek but is now called The Oasis. I may someday just walk the Rhyolite-Skidoo Road?

I recall at least one, maybe two, junked and rusted cars near where the road starts to drop into the canyon as heads over toward Stovepipe and yes more than one pole is still standing there.

Hi MG, Thanks for your notes. While unaware of the Rhyolite-Skidoo Road I was exploring the west end of the Death Valley Buttes a few years ago and happened to stumble across the road, an old car carcass and the electric/phone? line. These are screen shots of the video I took of the hike.

Like I told DA89446W, it would be fun to walk the whole road.
