Ridgecrest Walmart Supercenter

This 24-hour Walmart anchors Ridgecrest as the last major resupply point before Death Valley’s northern entrance or the Alabama Hills. The fuel station stays open around the clock with diesel pumps that accommodate larger rigs, while the store stocks everything from recovery straps to camp stoves. Propane exchange is available during store hours, and the automotive section carries basic trail repair supplies like belts, hoses, and fluids.

Located right off Highway 178, it’s a natural staging point for Trona Pinnacles runs or Death Valley approaches via the Panamint Valley. The parking lot sees plenty of overlanders prepping for multi-day desert expeditions — expect to swap intel with other travelers gassing up for backcountry runs.
