One favorite desert hike in Death Valley National Park is this loop hike through the golden badlands. The circuit is a total of eight miles. It is a strenuous hike and thus requires between four and five hours to complete.  

Start your hike in the Badwater Road parking lot. This allows you to save the downhill portion for your return. This hike will take you through the shadeless, hot desert landscape to Zabriskie Point and Red Cathedral. As is the case with any hike, remember to take water and sunscreen, and start your hike as early as possible.
