Food first:
as others have said -
Panamint for dinner, I mean who can beat the lasagna and the beer? Not to mention salads and desert.
Furnace Creek Inn (not ranch, yuck) for sunday brunch, my daughter brought baggies with her for the fried chicken (but it you're not with a cute little kid you may not be able to do that.) Hike first, then eat or you can't move.
AVOID STOVEPIPE WELLS FOOD like the plague.
In Beatty, can you beat $1.99 breakfasts at The Exchange Club? bacon's good. And then there's sourdough pizza from the bar across the street.
A little further afield, in Goldfield, there's a coffeeshop/bar/cafe, it's the only one open and has a skeleton on it, i forget the name, but they have really lovely omelette/waffle kind of breakfasts and an ambience you ain't gonna see elsewhere (brothel/bar/diner).
PHOTOS - (i am a terrible photographer but have travelled in DV with a pro who loved -) Teakettle Junction/Racetrack, Mosiac Canyon, Golden Canyon, stovepipe dunes in the twilight, rhyolite at sunset(near beatty), charcoal kilns.
Have fun, Genie
