Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park

Zabriskie Point

Arrive near sunrise for cooler air and softer light over the badlands. The short paved walk leads to a windy overlook with big valley views.

Badwater Basin in Death Valley National Park

Badwater Basin

Walk out onto the salt flats beyond the first patches for wider views and cleaner photos. Go when temperatures and light are more comfortable, and keep water handy.

Artists Palette

Drive the one-way scenic loop and stop at the main viewpoint when the light is low for stronger colors. Expect slow traffic at peak sunset hours.

Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley National Park
Must visit

Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes

Visit near sunset for cooler sand and long shadows on the ripples. Walk as far as feels comfortable and bring a warm layer for the breeze after dark.

Furnace Creek Visitor Center in Death Valley National Park
Must visit

Furnace Creek Visitor Center

Start here to check same-day road conditions and plan around heat and closures. Refill water and get oriented before heading to the park’s main corridors.

Golden Canyon Trailhead in Death Valley National Park

Golden Canyon Trailhead

Hike early and turn around before peak heat since shade is limited. Even a short out-and-back gives you classic canyon walls close to Furnace Creek.
