Our last stop in Death Valley was Father Crowley Vista Point, west of Panamint Spring on Hwy 190. It's a winding road.
There is a large paved parking lot, where you'll find a plaque about Father Crowley, a catholic priest responsible for ministering to the people of Inyo County Parish in the 1930s. The Desert Padre, as he was known, would often stop here to admire the views on his way to or from visiting parishioners in Death Valley, and his home in Lone Pine, CA.
If you're lucky, you can see military training flights in Rainbow Canyon.
Rainbow Canyon is also known as Star Wars Canyon.
You can walk to the end of the trail to get a view beyond Rainbow Canyon.
