Ballarat and Panamint Valley are downhill a few very slow miles. Death Valley NP is just ahead.

    This is known as Chicken Rock, as most people have a little Chicken Heart before attempting this sharp right hand turn onto the rock. Occasionally people take the turn too wide, which accounts for the wrecked vehicles 300 feet below:) This past spring a woman rolled off the turn, it took a helicopter to get her out.
