Father Crowley Overlook is a great place to stop on the way into Death Valley National Park. It is located right of the main road with about another half mile of dirt road out to a further lookout point which you can drive or hike to. The view of the Canyon next to the parking area and the desert valley and mountain ranges in the distance is an incredible sight to see. It truly allows you to put the size of Death Valley National Park into perspective even though this is only a small percentage of the total size of the park.

Extended. Once we entered the interior of Death Valley, it was our first stop. Beautiful and beautiful views over the canyon if we take a path that brings you a little closer. This place is not of much interest, only if you get close to the Canyon, on the other hand you can take the opportunity to go to the bathroom (there are toilets in this place) and thus continue the route.

One of the most incredible overlooks in the world. I have been here several times during my trips to Death Valley National Park for the Badwater 135 ultra marathon. I have seen fighter jets doing flybys which is an indescribable site to see. Simply breathtaking views and a place everyone who visits the park news to stop and enjoy.

Awesome place! Drive out the dirt road to the point and take a picnic! It is amazing place to sit and look out over the valley! Wish we could see some aircraft, but have not seen any the past 3 years (visits).

It is spectacular landscape of lava flows and volcanic cinders, which created the colorful layers of Rainbow Canyon. We learned that there is a possible viewing of military training flights. There is a short dirt road past the parking lot that has awesome views of the mountains and valley.

This is a great place to stop on your way into Death Valley. The views are great, particularly with snow on Telescope Peak.

I think this is the first place you can see a small portion of Death Valley as you head into the park. The park itself is magnificent. The subtle beauty is overwhelming. Don't miss the Artist's Drive or Dante's Peak overlook.

If you’re ever find yourself driving from Death Valley to Lone Pine…stop. It is worth the few minutes to take a break and enjoy the view. Restrooms are here. Also may get lucky to see a jet or plane going through the canyon.

There's a spectacular viewpoint from this location. It has plenty of parking. There are a couple of toilets on location here.

Very nice vista point before you leave the Death Valley. Apparently they filmed some scenes from some Star Wars movie so it makes it more interesting to see.

Nice place to stop and stretch. Pit toilets are available and were not gross when we visited. Beautiful views, plenty of parking.

A magnificent view of the valley we were leaving! We were able to have a picnic facing this expanse, alone!! You have to take the path on the right at the back of the parking lot to enjoy the view!
