Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Ubehebe Crater adventure.
Discover the volcanic wonder of Ubehebe Crater. Â
This 600-foot-deep half-mile wide crater is an essential site in Death Valley National Park. A unique geological formation, this crater was formed by steam eruptions anywhere between 2000 and 7000 years ago. A simple hike down into the crater will give you spectacular views of it' mountainous walls. Surrounding the Ubehebe Craters are many more small steam volcanoes that offer hours of hiking for those that can survive the heat in Death Valley.
The best time to visit Ubehebe Crater is during the cooler months from October to April. Summer temperatures can be extreme, making exploration less comfortable. Early mornings or late afternoons offer the most pleasant conditions for your volcanic adventure.
