• Borax - While the famous Gold Rush brought a large influx of hopefuls to Death Valley, it wasn’t gold that kept the valley on the map. In their frantic search for that prized metal, miners discovered something equally valuable: borax.
• Dante’s View - Offering breathtaking views of the undulating salt flats below, Dante’s View is a phenomenal place for photography, or simply watching the sun set behind the Panamint Mountains. This vista rises more than 5,000 feet above the Badwater Basin, on the edge of the Black Mountain Range.
• Twenty Mule Team Canyon - This is Twenty Mule Team Canyon, named for those iconic wagon trains just mentioned. This winding road offers some truly excellent desert scenery as you weave between saffron-colored hills and colorful badlands. If you visit in the early morning or around sunset, you’ll be treated to dazzling colors as the orange sunlight paints the dramatic rock faces.
• Zabriskie Point - Named for a 19th-century borax baron, who you’ll hear about shortly, Zabriskie Point is easily one of Death Valley’s most iconic locations. From this perch on the Amargosa Mountain range, you can really see how erosion has shaped this valley. Directly below are the badlands. Past those, much lighter in color, you’ll see the dazzling salt flats. All of it is framed by the towering Panamint Mountains beyond.
• Furnace Creek Visitor Center - Here at the Furnace Creek Visitor Center, you’ll find snacks, water, and restrooms, but more importantly…a thermometer! Just outside the entrance is a big digital readout that’ll tell you exactly how hot it is here at one of Death Valley’s lowest points. Make sure to snap a photo standing next to it to impress your friends and family back home.
• Golden Canyon - From here, you can access the Golden Canyon trail. This out-and-back trail is about 3 miles total and takes around one hour to complete. This popular trail sees many visitors each year, so you’re sure to encounter a few fellow hikers during your trip!
• Mars Hill - That gentle hill off to your right is called Mars Hill. If you think about it, the name makes sense! Much of Death Valley brings to mind the arid, lifeless surface of the planet Mars. The deep ochre stones, strange rock formations, and great dusty expanses certainly feel like they don’t quite belong on Earth.
• Artist’s Drive - This canvas was painted by volcanic deposits of iron oxides and chlorite. While the badlands of Zabriskie Point were colored largely by different sedimentary deposits, these rocks owe their glow to a totally different era of Death Valley’s geology.
• Artists Palette - This is the best spot to view the Artist’s Palette, a collection of wildly colorful rocks that look like they can’t possibly be natural. And yet they are!
• Devil’s Golf Course - This road is rugged and unpaved, so use caution when driving. It leads to a fascinating landscape known as Devils Golf Course. When most people think of golf courses, they’ll imagine verdant rolling hills, smoothly manicured turf, and the sound of birdsong. But Death Valley offers no such thing.
• Badwater Basin - This is Badwater Basin, home to salt flats which spread out across the desert for a whopping 200 square miles. At 282 feet below sea level, this basin is the lowest point in North America.
