Introduction: What? : Situated 5,575 ft (1,699 m) above Badwater, Dante’s View provides an amazing view of the white salt flats valley below you and the Panamint Mountain Range and Telescope Peak across from it. This is one of the great photographic spots in Death Valley and it is well worth the 45-minute drive from Furnace Creek Visitor Center; you can do this when coming to the park or on your way out. The best time to visit here is early in the morning (sunrise) where the sun is rising behind you or late afternoon at sunset when it sets behind the mountain range on the other side of the valley. Mid-day is usually hazy with less visibility.
