Harry Wade Road: (32 miles)
This rough 4x4 road runs south from Ashford Junction to Highway 127, 30 miles north of Baker. This is the extreme southern entrance to
Death Valley. It follows the Amargosa River and provides access to the Avawatz Mountains, Saratoga Springs, the Owlshead Mountains, and the Confidence Mill site. Except for the 12 mile stretch between Highway 127 and the Owl Hole Spring Road, the road is rough: there is deep sand along the way and a river crossing that can be impassible if there is deep water. This is a remote and seldom travelled route -- visitors must be well prepared.
Saratoga Springs
, one of the rare wetlands in the desert, is reached from the Harry Wade exit route off Hwy 127.
Harry Wade Road is graded and a high clearance vehicle, but not necessarily 4 wheel-drive, is recommended. A variety of birds and other wildlife are attracted to this wetland so remember to take binoculars.
