Bob,

Did you make it to Darwin, or will that be on the agenda for the next trip?


Did not make it to Darwin on this trip, but next time around. Someone told me the best way to get to the Darwin Falls would be through Panamint Springs. So, I need to study this more. Any advice would be welcomed. I will get back there again. Fantastic area of California! And, the people are so friendly.


Bob,

The easiest access to the falls is a couple of miles west of the Panamint Springs Hotel, that's why I recommended a beer break there after the hike.:cool:

Get in touch with me before you go next time and I'll give you a bucket list that will keep you busy for years.

Route to Darwin Falls


Below is a GoogleEarth map showing Panamint Springs and the route to Darwin Falls.

Distances are - 1 mile west of Panamint Springs off Highway 190 turn onto a dirt road heading west - should be signed.

2.4 miles on the dirt road brings you to a parking lot for the Darwin Falls trail. About 1 mile to the falls, supposed to be fairly flat hike.

YES! Me too!

Great google map John, thanks.

This would be a great stateside trip for a group of Nomads some day soon.
