Death Valley is a huge place. Other guides to the area are less directed than this guide by Ruth Kirk. Kirk has nice writing (and organizational) skills that make the guide seem too easy and logical. Common sense reveals that this is a special talent, not a take-for-granted attribute.

Really interesting. This book was written by the wife of a ranger in the 1950's Good history and great descriptions of Death Valley. A true mid-century modern tour book. Still useful even today
