Corkscrew Peak is a peak in the Grapevine Mountains in Death Valley National Park. It is named for its shape, which loosely looks like a corkscrew. [3] [4]
The trail starts from Daylight Pass Road. Its length is 5.8 kilometers. It follows a wash for about 3 kilometers, then a small canyon, and finally, a steep (25% average) ridge to the summit. [5] [6]
