Black Rock Artist’s Palette

Black Rock Artist’s Palette

While its namesake in Death Valley National Park gets all the attention, this multicolored formation  (which I named) on the long road from Soldier Meadows to Hardin City is seldom visited. This is one of those wonderful way-in-the-outback Nevada roads that meanders through landscapes alternately forlorn and breathtaking. You will likely not see another vehicle all day. It’s a good idea to have a second spare tire, or an emergency inflation aerosol can. And lots of water.

    Nice panorama — I love the colors!

    I’m very familiar with the region, having explored Black Rock, Soldier Meadows and High Rock for the past decade, but haven’t been to Hardin city – I (was just out at Black Rock last week). One important note thing — the location you show on Google maps is not correct! The actual location is 10-15 miles north of what you show on the map!

    Kevin.
