Tea Kettle Junction

Intersection of Racetrack Valley Rd. and Hunter Mountain Rd., Death Valley National Park, CA

This is an odd, kitschy little stop that’s fun to see if you happen to be driving by: a road sign adorned with an ever-changing assortment of hanging tea kettles, many of which contain messages inside. Bring an old tea kettle if you have one and leave a note inside for the next visitor to find. You’ll pass it if you’re traveling to the Racetrack, and you’ll need a 4×4 vehicle for the incredibly rough road; if you’re not going to the Racetrack, though, Tea Kettle Junction is probably not worth a special trip.
