Wildrose Peak Trailhead

"You can see donkeys on the side of Emigrant Canyon Rd. Charcoal Kiln Rd is pretty narrow and had significant pot holes when I went. The trailhead parking is decent sized but a bit limited. There is a restroom. The trail itself is very nice with areas of shade and sun. There are a decent number of false peaks. The view from the top is great and there are good sized rocks to rest on and have a bite to eat."

"We hiked up Wildrose Peak while visiting Death Valley. The road to Telescope Peak was closed due to snow in the winter, so we thought Wildrose Peak would be a good alternative, though the weather didn't cooperate. The trailhead is at the Wildrose Charcoal Kilns, beehive structures used to produce charcoal for smelting in the 19th century. The trail is moderately steep as it climbs up the mountain. It was very cloudy the day we hiked so we didn't get many good views, but did get one break in the cloud to peer down towards Badwater Basin. Near the top, it was very windy and the summit was completely engulfed in clouds, so we didn't go all the way up, but did have fun in the snow. I would try this hike again if the weather was a little better."

"Tough hike but awesome view at the top! Make sure to have lots of water and food/snacks. Took us 6 hours."

"Be carrefull to the Death Valley Safety precautions ( Sufficient water in bord, etc.. ) because you cross hardly anybody on the acces roads to this site."
