Taken from Wikipedia, "Zabriskie Point is a part of Amargosa Range located east of Death Valley in Death Valley National Park in California, United States noted for its erosional landscape. It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago—long before Death Valley came into existence."
From the guidebook on page 652, "California: a guide to the Golden State": Right here 0.3 m. to Zabriskie Point, which reveals a far-reaching panorama of stark peaks and ridges. MANLY Beacon, a sharply pointed hill, is rounded by eroded yellow clay cliffs.
