must-see wonders 02 ZABRISKIE POINT Death Valley National Park A panoramic overlook of the surrounding mountains, dunes, canyons, and valleys, this 360-degree vista is an ideal place to get your bearings in a national park defined by extremes, home to the lowest point and hottest temperatures in North America. Sunrise visitors are treated to a natural light show as shadows recede from the badlands below and are replaced by a golden glow, while the Panamint Mountain Range across the valley is brushed in pinks and purples. From here, trails wind down into the badlands, and exploration of the park's treasures-from hidden oases to petroglyphs-begins.
