Description
Near Zabriskie Point
Perhaps the most famous Death Valley viewpoint; an elevated overlook of a huge area of yellow-brown-black badlands, with the white salt flats in the main valley beyond. The landscape can be seen from short walks near the viewpoint, or a longer hike towards Golden Canyon
Zabriskie Point is part of the Amargosa mountain range bordering the eastern side of Death Valley. It is an erosional landscape the Furnace Creek Lake sediments. The location was named after Christian Brevoort Zabriskie, vice-president and general manager of the Pacific Coast Borax Company in the early 20th century. The company’s twenty-mule teams were used to transport borax form its mining operations in Death Valley.
