Description
Zabriskie Point in Death Valley NP is one of the more popular attractions. Composed of sediments from the ancient Furnace Creek Lake, many millennia of erosional forces have made it an absolutely otherworldly landscape. It is one of the most popular places in the park to watch a sunrise or a sunset looking out over the rugged terrain and colorful striae to the valley below and the mountains beyond. I had high hopes for amazing sunrise colors when my wife and I drove there early on this particular morning as there was a perfect thin high cloud deck over our heads which I hoped would throw color from the east behind us over the scene. Alas, upon our arrival we found that the only LOW clouds for miles were right over where the sun itself would emerge over the eastern ridgeline so the sky never really colored up. There was also a quite large group of folks attending a photo workshop which made it a bit of a challenge just to find a place to stand for picture taking. We persevered though and found a decent spot off to the side and waited out the sun for a bit. Our patience was rewarded with a bit of nice golden light after the sun crested the aforementioned low clouds. I believe the prominent peak in the right part of this frame is known as Manly Peak, AKA Manly Beacon, named for William Lewis Manly, a 19th century pioneer known for rescuing several β49erβ families from the many perils of Death Valley.
