Railroads have played an important part in the history of Death Valley. The Pacific Coast Borax Company first used the Death Valley Railroad to transport its ore to market and then to transport Death Valley tourists to its Furnace Creek Resort. "Death Valley Scotty's" leap to national fame came as a direct result of his chartering a private train to break the Los Angeles to Chicago speed record. The Carson & Colorado Railroad on the west and the Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad on the east provided support to Death Valley's mining activity, its associated boomtowns, and early tourism.

Download The Death Q Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
"The Death Q," from author/adventurer, Steven "Blast" Halteman, is an offbeat desert guide sprinkled with entertaining short stories. It chronicles the 811 mile winter hike he created, after an inordinate amount of investigative footwork. The hike circles Death Valley along ten abandoned railroads, one active railroad, and passes through multiple ghost towns. The first in a series of unusual adventures titled, "Stories from Steve," this book is also part memoir, part unearthed history and part humorous tall tales, all of which were inspired by life on the trail. For thru-hikers, "The Death Q" gives practical advice and breaks down the journey into 35 days with a guide to routes and support services available at critical points along the way. For non-hikers, railroad buffs and armchair travelers, it provides an opportunity to take a vicarious trip into a heretofore unknown adventure. For travelers to the Death Valley region, it offers an alternative guidebook to a remote and timeless part of the world. However you decide to slice it, "The Death Q" is an unforgettable and engrossing read. And one heck of a hike.

Download Ghost Towns of Death Valley Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Although the Death Valley area is sparsely populated, it once was home to a good many towns, some of which not only have disappeared from the desert but also from history. Even though the name "Death Valley" itself evokes dark and foreboding images devoid of life, there was a surprising number of towns that did exist in or near the 3.4 million acres that comprise Death Valley National Park. Many had the amenities of larger cities, and some thrived before being deserted and melting back into the desert. The visual record of many of these towns and their occupants is featured in this book.
