Death Valley's Best Viewpoints

Death Valley National Park features some of the most dramatic geological transitions in North America. This selection includes high-altitude overlooks like Dante’s View and Aguereberry Point, which provide vistas of the salt flats 5,000 feet below. The list also highlights unique surface formations, from the volcanic-tinted hills of Artist's Palette and the golden badlands of Zabriskie Point to the jagged salt spires of the Devil’s Golf Course and the arrowweed mounds of the Devil's Corn Field.
