One of the most famous viewpoints in the park, which overlooks the golden colored badlands of the Furnace Creek formation. Visitors can simply enjoy the view or elect to start the hike from the point around Badlands Loop. Connector trails lead to Golden Canyon, Gower Gulch, and Red Cathedral. The point is most popular at sunrise and sunset and is a great place for photography.

Pets are only permitted along roads, to campgrounds, picnic areas, and other developed areas of the park, but they must be restrained or kept on a leash no longer than 6 feet at all times.

Other than service animals, pets are not allowed inside most buildings or on trails (including to Zabriskie Point), but you also can not leave them in your car while you are away. Most pet owners find that both their pets and themselves are happier if the pets are left at home or in a kennel.

Included with entrance fee into Death Valley or approved pass.

Zabriskie Point is a famous sunrise location for photography.
