The Panamint Range is a short rugged fault-block mountain range in the northern Mojave Desert, within Death Valley National Park in Inyo County, eastern California. A small part of the southern end of the range is in San Bernardino County.[3] Dr. Darwin French is credited as applying the term Panamint in 1860 during his search for the fabled Gunsight Lode.[4]
The origin of the name is the Paiute or Koso word Panümünt or Pa (water) and nïwïnsti (person).[5][6]
