Highlights
Outing Highlights
Badwater Basin — a surreal salt flat
Stand at the lowest point in North America, 282 feet below sea level, on an expanse of bright salt crust that makes for stark, graphic photographs and a rare perspective on the park’s scale.
Zabriskie Point & Dante’s View — panoramic badlands and valley overlooks
Visit Zabriskie Point for sweeping views of golden badlands and ascend to Dante’s View for a bird’s-eye panorama of the valley and surrounding ranges — vantage points that define Death Valley’s dramatic relief.
Artist’s Palette & Devil’s Golf Course — mineral hues and salt sculptures
Marvel at the Artist’s Palette, where mineral deposits stain the hills in vivid swaths of color, then explore the jagged salt pinnacles of the Devil’s Golf Course — examples of the park’s sculpted surfaces and mineral-driven palettes.
