Top Salt Creek Trailhead Hotel Reviews

The Ranch at Death Valley – Inside the Park

8/10 Good

"Everything was Credit Card, so be aware of that. and gas was cheaper at Stovepipe Wells than at the Resort, but it's a good drive, so if you're going that way keep that in mind, but don't go out of your way. Everything is an easy walk at the resort; to the shopping, restaurants, pool, and golf course. The most popular destinations in Death Valley are also short drives away; you can catch a few before lunch and another few before dark."
