Suggested Saturday Route - 4+ hours saddle time + scenery time.
Gas in Shoshone and should be good for the entire loop. Gas is also available in Furnace Creek (stoopid expensive).

Historic sites are the remains of the Ashford mill site. Badwater Basin is the lowest point in the Continental US some 200 odd feet below sea level. You can stop and walk out to the lake bed. Look up at the cliffs to the east. You will be up there soon. Artists loop is a nice one way speed limited road through some really panoramic terrain colors. At the intersection of Badwater Rd. & Hwy 190 you can turn left into Furnace Creek village for lunch. I suggest the burger at the golf course. Just a bit further up Hwy 190 is the Borax Mill site. Interesting walk about.
After that, Do Not Miss Dantes view. A really fun road where you will see the temps drop by 20 degrees and make some serious altitude gain. At the top you will have an unparalleled view of Badwater. The road, ride and view is awesome.
Follow the route down, turn right on 190 to Amargosa. Site of the Amargosa Hotel and Opera House. Supposedly the most haunted location in America. Stop for an ice cream. Power back to Rally HQ stopping in Shoshone to stock up on fuel, Water and needed supplies. CU in the mineral springs.
