Zabriskie Point is a part of Amargosa Range
located east of Death Valley in Death Valley National Park
in California, United States, and 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.

Zabriskie Point is perhaps the most famous Death Valley viewpoint;
an elevated overlook of a huge area of yellow-brown-black badlands,
with the white salt flats in the main valley beyond.
The landscape can be seen from short walks near the viewpoint,
or a longer hike towards Golden Canyon.
