Besides Artist's Palate, I think this my next favorite. The landscape is stunning. Hiking from here is available but we didn't do it because it was too late. This is definitely the top 3 in my list.

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.

It is a short drive from Furnace Creek to Zabriskie Point. Would go again in a heart beat. Absolutely beautiful

Spectacular vista of some amazing local geology. A short drive from Furnace Creek and not to be missed.

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.
