By the time you reach the 9,000-foot summit, you'll have views of Death Valley spreading below, Panamint Valley to the west, and the snow-streaked Sierra Nevada off in the distance.

From there, you drive to Darwin Falls, a spring-fed waterfall that somehow exists in one of the driest spots on earth, and take a two-mile hike to reach it. Before heading out, you'll check out from Furnace Creek, cross back through the Mojave, and settle into your hotel in 29 Palms near Joshua Tree.
