Charcoal Kilns - Death Valley

Despite following the same cookie cutter layout as most other Park Service restrooms in Death Valley, this higher altitude offering located just across the road from 150 year old charcoal kilns offers the softest most refreshing toilet paper for miles. Maybe this was out of respect for the Chinese laborers who built the kilns in order to provide charcoal to nearby silver and gold mines. Maybe it’s a reward for those willing to drive the remote road up to Wildrose Peak. Maybe the higher elevation is kinder to absorbent porous material. Whatever the reason, cherish the moment – because soon enough you will be back to the gritty transparent tissue paper that is so common everywhere else in this god forsaken valley.
