Nestled in Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park, the Coal Creek Falls trail is a 2.5-mile trek through towering forests and mossy ravines. The waterfall is a hidden gem, dropping 28 feet into a rocky basin. A perfect PNW adventure!

Eureka Dunes and Last Chance Mountains
Death Valley National Park
California

In the isolated northern wilderness of Death Valley, the Eureka Dunes ripple toward the Last Chance Mountains like a frozen golden sea. It is a place of profound solitude, where the earth feels surreal and timeless.

Tucked away in the remote northern corner of Death Valley National Park, the Eureka Dunes are a surreal, towering expanse of pure quartz sand. Rising nearly 700 feet above the dry lakebed, they stand as some of the highest dunes in North America.

Big Pine Road’s relentless washboarding punishes any vehicle not built for the backcountry, as the rusted relics at Crankshaft Crossing prove. The final 10-mile South Eureka spur is tougher, narrowing into deeper sand and severe corrugations near the base of the dunes.

Think you’ve seen all of Death Valley? Head south. At the park’s edge lies Saratoga Springs—a desert mirage. After a grueling washboard drive, you'll find a sprawling oasis of spring pools and lush marshes framed by the stark Ibex Mountains.

In Death Valley, the 1881 Harmony Borax Works turned "White Gold" into a global commodity. Iconic 20-mule teams hauled borax through extreme heat—a testament to human grit in one of Earth’s hottest places. This site fueled industries from laundry soap to ceramics.

There is something extraordinary about the 'sailing stones' of Death Valley’s Racetrack Playa. They move at a snail’s pace, leaving behind perfect, silent records of their journey across the parched earth.
