Zabriskie Point is one of the viewpoints in the Amargosa Mountains on the east side of Death Valley National Park. We spent several days in Death Valley recently after having to change plans due to snow and winter weather in Grand Canyon National Park. We also hiked in this area.

We watched the sunset at Zabriskie Point on the east side of Death Valley National Park the second evening of our stay in the park and then went on north to the Beatty Road where we spent the night in a layby.

This was taken from the viewing area at Zabriskie Point and looks west over the valley, some of which is visible in the distance with its salt pans and greenery at Furnace Creek. We were waiting for the sunset when this was snapped and I went on from here to hike up a small nearby peak looking for a better view.

Driving south on the Scotty's Castle Road from Ubehebe Crater we spent a good part of the day photographing wildflowers and cactus and then went on to Dante's View on the east side of the park only to discover to our dismay that the road was closed (through May). We went back to Zabriskie Point, also on the east side and spent some time there before heading to Furnace Creek to get water and our evening meal. After eating we returned to Zabriskie Point for the sunset.
