The Last Adventurer | Surprise Canyon - one of the best hikes in California! @TheLastAdventurer | Uploaded August 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
One of the more remote areas in California, Surprise Canyon also features one of the more historic hikes up a former off-roading area to the ghost town of Panamint City. While there are many "surprises" on this hike, the main surprise is that a fair portion of this trek involves hiking through running water, a rarity in California, let alone Death Valley. For those that can route-find, the payoff is a series of mines, abandoned buildings, and amazing scenery that can all be explored over the course of ten to twelve miles roundtrip. Due to its remote location, lack of trail, and the off-road driving required to get there, this hike requires proper preparation; but for those that are willing to take the necessary steps, this is an amazing place to explore.
