Zabriskie Point - Death Valley National Park (Part 31)

At the end of November last year (2012), I took a trip to Death Valley National Park. This is the second trip there in my life. The 1st time I went, I was still a little kid, and I didn't start taking photos yet. This time, I have a pro camera and I am ready to shoot the scenery. Death Valley National Park is known for its "out of this world" scenery, UFO sightings, and many other things. The desert is a very mysterious and beautiful place. In this chain of blog posts, I will be showing you mainly photos of Death Valley National Park, but also photos from surrounding areas like The Mojave Desert, Alabama Hills, and Rhyolite Ghost Town. I have picked out over 400 photos from my trip to show you guys and I will be dividing them into many blog posts. Unlike blog  post chains before, I obviously can't put a link of ever blog post on every single blog post, so instead, I will do the same thing I did for my Yellowstone National Park photos before, by sticking a link of the Next and Previous post on each blog post instead.

Today I will show you photos from Zabriskie Point. Zabriskie Point is part of the Amargosa Range, and is pretty much an overlook of Twenty Mule Team Canyon (photos here). In the canyons is where borax used to be mined and transported. If you are visiting Death Valley National Park, definitely visit this area as the view is wonderful.

So continuing my previous post, I have more photos from my drive up to Dante's View (including a few photos from the Billie Mine) and photos from Dante's View itself. If you didn't read my intro from my previous post, here it is again. If you visit Death Valley National Park, you should definitely go see Dante's View. Just make sure you have a good enough car that can drive up there! The road is paved, but when I got to near the peak, I was driving on a 60°-70° incline! It scared the shit out of me partially because I am a beginner driver (my dad insisted) and partially because it was high up and I got a really bad fear of heights. The road itself was actually not that narrow but I borrowed the other lane (opposite moving traffic) anyways. Just make sure no cars are coming down before you do that. It isn't too scary. The incline portion is only like 2000 feet and you arrive at the parking lot immediately after you get over that. The funny thing is that when you are coming down and you get down the incline, there is a turnout and a Porta Potty. XD How convenient. LOL Anyways, let's get to the photos for today.

Today, I have 9 photos I took at Devil's Golf Course. These will include some scenery shots and some panoramas. This view is not marked with a big sign in Death Valley National Park, but if you are visiting the park, you should definitely check it out. The area is amazing, but if you plan on taking a photo not from the parking lot, there is some climbing required as the area is filled with a lot of crystallized salt. Instead of me trying to explain to you what it is, here is the sign at Devil's Golf Course explaining how it all formed. If you have trouble reading from the small image, just click on it and it will either view full size or start a almost full screen slideshow.

The sign explaining what the Devils Golf Course is, how it formed, and some warning about walking/climbing in the area.

A lot of photographers also taking photos like me! :)
