I have been privileged to drive on many if not most of the historic and scenic highways of America. I may make a list someday. But this one, the western approach to Death Valley National Park on Hwy 190, was simply one of the very best. We took it from Lone Pine, CA (where it was #136) through Death Valley and while all of it was a wonderful drive the 12 mile descent to Panamint Springs was spectacular. It was even great fun in a rental Kona, imagine with a decent car. Wow.
