Simply stunning - don't miss it. Best to go early or late to get the wonderful colours from early or late sun.

stayed in furnace creek, death valley. Drove up to Zabriskie point to see the sunset over the hills, many had the same idea. Not only the sunset, The rocks and dunes behind turned red.

We went up here at night to hear a park ranger tell stories as we watched the full moon rise above the mountains. It was wonderful. The Park Ranger Rose had put portable red lights to help us find our way up to the point. Once up there, she told stories about the stars. It was a magical experience. If... More

My wife and I are both photographers and got up early to see the sunrise at Zabriskie Point. We were not disappointed. We stayed for about 90 minutes. As the sun rises the shadows on the rock formations change dramatically. This would also be an excellent place to be at sunset.

We were there in late afternoon and the formations around us just glowed. Saw a little bit of snow on Telescope Peak, salt flats, and hiking trail below we had been on earlier in the day (Golden Canyon/Gower Gulch loop).

We went in the evening and the lighting was good--rich colors and quite a view. Was more interesting and scenic than I had really anticipated, almost didn't go that way. We kept heading east on 190 and just outside the boundaries of the park there is another valley that apparently gets more rain--interesting cactus and plants.

Travelling from Las Vegas, via Pahrump, this was our first stop and our first proper glimpse of Death Valley in all it's wonder and magnitude. There are toilets here as well.

This is outside the central park area, but well worth the detour for the spectacular view. It's a bit windy on the day we visited, but one can see all the surrounding peaks and a good portion of the park.
