Darwin Falls

Darwin Falls is a waterfall located on the western edge of Death Valley National Park near the settlement of Panamint Springs, California.

Darwin Creek is one of the four perennial streams in three million-acre (12,000 km2) Death Valley National Park.

The small, narrow valley where the creek and falls are located features a rare collection of riparian greenery in the vast desert and is home to indigenous fauna such as quail.

Access to the trail to Darwin Falls is a dirt road located on the south side of State Route 190, approximately .25 miles (400 m) west of Panamint Springs.

The lower falls, which are 20 feet (10 m) tall, are reached with a short hike up Darwin Canyon that is 1 mile (1.6 km) long each way and becomes moderately difficult toward the end.
