This view from Aguereberry Point is looking southeast, towards the southern end of Death Valley. The Black Mountains, part of the Amargosa Range, are visible across the valley in the distance.

Aguereberry Point is 6,433 feet above sea level in the Panamint Range to the west of the valley, and offers spectacular views of the surrounding region. Bob’s Aguereberry Point is 958 feet higher than 5,475-foot Dante’s View. Once most of the mining played out, the people of the region had to make a living somehow. Tourist dollars were the reason behind both of these fine modern-day attractions. Originally named “Grand View” by Bob, the developer of Stovepipe Wells, Aguereberry Point now is named after Jean Pierre Aguereberry, a prospector of the area. Aguereberry Point is reached in any high clearance vehicle, on a 7 mile graded dirt road, with 4wd rarely necessary.

Pete Aguereberry was born in 1874 into a Basque family in France. Pete sailed for America in 1890 and came out to this area in 1905. Pete worked at the Eureka mine from 1907 until the early 1930’s when his health was failing him. Except for some help from his nephew in his later years, the Eureka mine was built and worked by Pete alone. Pete died 1945 and he is buried in Lone Pine, California. In his later years Pete would take visitors on a tour of his mine and what he called "The Great View" of Death Valley. It was later named Aguereberry Point in honor of Pete.
