Jubilee Pass
Elevation - 1290 ft.
Jubilee Pass is situated in southeastern Death Valley National Park, California. The pass offers a very scenic drive through southern Death Valley, connecting the traveler from Shoshone to the center of the park. It cuts through various desert landscapes, opening up expansive valleys, rugged mountains, and stunning vistas that give a glimpse into the almost stark beauty of the Mojave Desert.
Jubilee Pass has served as a significant route and passage for earlier travelers and miners through the area. It lies near other places that are quite rich in mining history, particularly in the late1 1800s when seekers of gold and silver crossed these desolate lands. Even though the environment is arid, the area near this pass has been an important route for people in Death Valley.
Those traveling across Jubilee Pass Road will be treated to spectacular views and serenity. Land changes from low, dry desert to higher places that give wide views of Death Valley's size. The pass is also not very far from other important spots in the park, like Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America, and the Amargosa Range. For those seeking a less-crowded alternative to the park’s more famous sights, Jubilee Pass offers a quiet, off-the-beaten-path experience.
