When I arrived in Death Valley this was closed for construction. We managed to shoot photos from the east by parking way out and climbing the hills and trails. Big dropoff. Sunday I was heading back and the parking lot was open and the construction signs were down. Great handicap accessible path to the best location to shoot. Some trails below but they are trying to preserve the environment. Must see. The colors and view down towards Golden Canyon and the west side is gorgeous.
What a view! If you can stand the 120 degree heat for the 5 minute walk, it's well worth it. It's like nothing I've every seen before. The incredibly panorama includes the vast expanse of the valley floor, stunning rock formations carved by the last ice age and the dominant snow capped mountains in the distance. This is a totally humbling place where the landscape and weather are equally likely to make you gasp for air.
This is a sight that puzzles many people. How can the rocks have such different colours? The great heat does not make it any easier to guess.
Sunset at Zabriski point.....it is not of this world. It could be on another planet. But keep everything well fixed. I lost my lenscover in the strong warm wind. Lucky I ran downhill and could catch it just before it was gone forever.
Apparently some walls were falling down and a hazard so this is closed indefinitely for repairs as of February 14. Check with the visitor center to see if it's open.
Death Valley is one of the best things of Nevada/California. Loved this place. Was hot as hell, but awesome.
这儿可以瞭望苍茫的戈壁风光。以当年煤矿监工的名字命名这个点,应该是他发现的这里。不过这个点的景色比较单一,只有一个简单的戈壁风光,其他的都没特别的感觉,看看就过了。夕阳西下可以把隔壁照的血红,有点特色
They renovated this, however we don't know WHY they paved the walkway with blacktop!!! That's gonna get hot & sticky! Can't beat the view & hiking trails looked great but we didn't have time for hikes.
Weird geology at your feet, plus a great view in all directions. An especially attractive spot at sunset.
Big disappointment...the one attraction in the park we'd listed as "must see" is presently closed for construction.This was not on the main park website so I recommend you call the Visitor Center if this is your goal. My recollection is the closure will be a couple of months.
