Zabriskie Point has to be one of the more magical places in Death Valley National Park. The colors and forms are like nowhere else. The snow covered peaks are in the Panamint Range on the west side of the park. At the base of those mountains are salt flats which comprise "the valley". They are below sea level, as much as 282 ft. below at Badwater Basin which is about the area that can barely be seen.
Manley Beacon is the pointed rock to the right. Here Badwater can better be seen.
An even better shot of Manley Beacon.
Before the end of the month and our departure I'd like to return and hike the 2.5 mile loop trail that begins here.
