Zabriskie Point

Zabriskie point is a very popular spot in Death Valley. While there are more places with crazy colored rocks in the Death Valley, this one is right next to the road and requires almost no walk. It also offers beautiful mountainous background.

Photo tips: Dawn and sunrise is usually the best time to photograph here. Anything from wide angle to mid-telephoto can be used for various compositions.

Getting there: Just a short drive from Furnace Creek, which is therefore the best base in order to be there before sunrise.

Zabriskie Point at Death Valley National Park. This is a wide angle shot of the previous image Iposted on flickr. Zabriskie Point is a part of Amargosa Range located east of Death Valley in Death Valley National Park in the United States noted for its erosional landscape. It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago, long before Death Valley came into existence.

I had an amazing time here even though I had to wake up around 4:30 PM to witness the sunrise at this amazing location. The colors and patterns on these badlands formation is nothing short of spectacular. Please make it a must stop location if you ever visit Death Valley.

A view from Zabriskie point at Death Valley National Park. I took this shot in the morning as the rising sun was lighting up the folds and faraway mountains. Morning sun over the Zabriskie point is an absolutely religious experience and it’s something everyone should witness at least once in their life. The badland formations and the texture of and hues of the landscape is beyond amazing as the golden light gets there just becomes outright stunning. Thanks for visiting hope you enjoy the pics…

When we ended up moving to SoCal due to our career decisions, there were two things that excited me about the move. One, there was no more snow to deal with and after trying out 6 winters in New York and New England we were not sad to move to sunny Los Angeles. The other reason was the sheer number of National Parks that were available to explore. We visited Yosemite within a couple of months of moving and the next park we chose was Death Valley National Park. I was actually quite surprised to learn that many of my colleagues didn’t even know about the park that was just 4 hours away from them, in fact, I had to tell people that it was near Coachella music festival for them to get a general idea of the location of the park.

Our first visit was quite eye-opening as we went in winter and the temperature was quite toasty 90F, but the desert was stunning in its beauty and one of our favorite places to visit was the stunning Zabriskie point, a part of the Amargosa Range located east of Death Valley, noted for its erosional landscape. It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago - long before Death Valley came into existence.

This stitched panorama shot was made of the Manly beacon during sunrise as the morning light drenched the Panamint Range. I was never fully convinced of the edits on image when I first posted it but recently after getting a bit more skilled at editing, I tried my luck again and I believe this is a much cleaner representation of the amazing vista we were lucky to witness.

Our first sunrise in Death Valley proved to be our best also. Low whispy clouds refelcted the light just as the sun started to come to the horizon. ...

After the sun had gone below the horizon, the coors int eh sky were better and the entire landscape was set in that special light of the blue hour. ...
