The story
Ubehebe Peak is a double summit mountain located within Death Valley National Park, in Inyo County, California. Ubehebe Peak rises over the west side of the Racetrack Playa, and lies at the south end of the Last Chance Range. Ubehebe Peak can be accessed through the unpaved Racetrack Valley Road. Experienced hikers can ascend the mountain by the old miner's trail, which leads to the saddle between the two peaks.
