Zabriskie Point - Death Valley - California

Written By Elliot Koeppel

As I was driving up to Dante’s View, I pulled into the parking area for Zabriskie Point. A short hike later and I was looking at one of the most impressive and starkly beautiful views in Death Valley. Spread out before me was a maze of wildly eroded and multi-colored badlands. Off to the northwest, Manly Beacon reached for the sky. White salt flats shone on the valley floor in the distance. A few steps in the wrong direction and I would be swallowed up by Gower Gulch. I jumped over the wall anyway to get as close to the edge as possible, to see what I could find.

Mound cactus flowers are red the sky and water are blue, that pointy rock looks dangerous, just like you. . . . . . #barkerdam #joshuatreenationalpark #dayhike #cactusflowers #wildflowers #badpoetry #nohaiku
The Summit Inn. One of my favorite places to stop to eat when my family would visit Miriam out in Apple Valley on her ranch. Loved the little devil machine fortune telling, card thingee on each table. . . . . #route66 #california #gone #SummitInn
Gold Hill Bank. Very faded letters on front between the left and center doors reads "Post Office." . . . . #goldhill #nevada #ghosttown #roadtrip
