"When I finally found my way to the remote western edge of Death Valley National Park, where Panamint Springs Resort sits, its mere existence felt like a mistake: getting there is an ordeal — the route from the east crawls from below sea level to 4,956 feet before plummeting, the approach from the west twists like a carousel past steep dropoffs, the route from the south washes out with just a whisper of rain, and nearby dirt roads force harrowing passes through narrow canyons over rocks big enough to gut even high-clearance vehicles. The resort itself is a 40-acre, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it blip with no power lines and no cell phone service, yet it provides the only gas, lodging, and food within the 65-mile-long Panamint Valley, sitting amid an otherworldly landscape defined by a glowing white playa, star-shaped sand dunes, and lava-colored hills." - Eater Staff
"Located in Death Valley’s remote western edge, this desert outpost offers outdoor seating with views of the distant Panamint sand dunes from the resort restaurant’s outdoor seating. The menu offers Angus beef burgers, steak, ribs, salad, chicken tenders, and a surprisingly huge craft beer selection" - Krista Diamond
