Manly Peak Area
Manly Peak is located at the southern end of the Panamint Range. Interesting sites to visit in the area include Russell Camp, Mengel Pass, Barker Cabin, Meyer Cabin, Goler Wash, Manly Peak, Coyote Canyon, and several mine sites, abandoned cabins, and springs. Goler Wash is one of the few locations where a road traverses across the Panamint Range, connecting Panamint Valley to Butte Valley, which in turn provides access to Death Valley via Warm Spring Canyon.
