Echo Canyon Trail

Echo Canyon boasts Death Valley's best qualities with its spectacular scenery, twisty canyons, rock arches, and mining history. It leads to the once famed "Inyo Mine," which was one of the earliest gold discoveries on the west side of the Funeral Range and also the only mine on that side, that produced more than an occasional sack of gold. The drive is peaceful through the sometimes tight canyon and is complete with an arch named the "Eye of the Needle" that you can't miss. With its nine designated and reserved campsites, scenery, and history, it's the perfect stop for a night on the way in or out of Death Valley.
