I may also mention that the Panamint Valley / Goler Wash / Mengal Pass / Striped Butte Valley / Warm Springs / Death Valley route is a fantastic loop, especially if you overnight somewhere in Butte Valley. I've done the loop from PSR to PSR in one day, but it's a looooonnnngggg day. Leaving by 8:00 am, and getting back after the restaurant is (officially) closed. But overnighting is Butte Valley is very nice. My son and I did it a few years ago, during a spring bloom. Arrived at Stella's before dark, had time for making a very nice dinner (we packed heavy), saw lots of wildflowers, and went out via Goler the next day. Back to PSR in plenty of time for dinner, taking our time, visiting with Rock at Ballarat, etc.
