| Death Valley 2010 / About to try the beast, Lippincott Road, located south of the
Racetrack Playa is described by Death Valley Backcountry road map as the following: "Rough 4WD. Very steep, narrow, and
winding with cliff
edge washouts. Uphill traffic has right of way. Lower part has very narrow
section that is difficult for wide vehicles. Subject to closure after washouts
from heavy rains. Distance: 5.9 miles. Start: 3.5 miles south of the Racetrack.
Camping: Allowed. This road connecting Racetrack Valley with
Saline Valley is for experienced 4WD drivers only".
It's more accurate to say that the Lippincott Mine Road is a serious, high-pucker-factor, mountain-goat trail.
