The Wildrose Charcoal Kilns. The Charcoal Kilns (built in 1867) where used to reduce the local Pinion Pine and Juniper tree's to charcoal by a process of slow controlled burning, the charcoal was then used to smelt gold and lead ore in the local mines. After just a few years of use, they where abandoned and left to decay. In the spring of 1971 a team of Navajo Indians from Arizona, repaired the Kilns and they remain to this day in good condition. There are ten Kilns in all, measuring 30-32ft in diameter and 25 feet in height.

第一次是三月的春假去的。死谷的地形变化很大，从海拔零下到 11049 ft 的 Telescope Peak。在山下的沙漠里，白天会比较热。我们晚上到山上扎营，不用睡袋，很舒服，但早上九点钟帐篷里就不能呆了。

第二次是十月底去的。晚上住在海拔 8000 ft 的山上，冷得不得了。后来就搬到山下去了。晚上不用睡袋，暖风习习的，很舒服。白天山下极热！

有朋友五月去过一次，连夜开车，清晨到，玩到八点钟就要开车离开，不然会被活活烤焦的。
