Wildflower Ride Update

Very cool photos Bob.

How long is the road thru Death Valley? And would this be the best time of the year to ride it?

Ferret,

The primary blacktop road through the National Park is California Highway 190. From boundary to boundary, it spans about 80 miles with gas available at Furnace Creek, Stovepipe Wells, and Panamint Springs. Now is probably the best time to visit (at least on a motorcycle!), but the park is surprisingly full with European visitors during the summer. Summer is also the time when automobile makers test highly disguised prototype vehicles in the park, and are stalked by car paparazzi. Here's a local story on that cat and mouse game from August 2013.

An official link about when to visit the park is on the NPS website.
