Tucki Mountain
The Tucki Mountain area covers the northern portion of the Panamint Range. Sites of interest are quite spread out in this area and include sites such as Mosaic Canyon, Grotto Canyon, Tucki Wash, the Tucki Mine, Telephone Canyon, and Skidoo. Tucki Mountain reaches 6732 feet and is the only actual peak in the entire area. Salt Creek (one of the locations in DVNP where you'll find pupfish) is located near the northeast corner of this region. Also included in this area are the Death Valley Sand Dunes and Stovepipe Wells. (Click here for map of area)
