Old Stovepipe Wells
This waterhole, only one in the sand dune area of Death Valley, was at the junction of two Indian trails.
During the bonanza days of Rhyolite and
Skidoo it was the only known water source on the cross-valley road. When
sand obscured the spot, a length of stovepipe was inserted as a marker, hence its unique name.
