Zabriskie Point, Eroded badlands viewpoint in Death Valley National Park, California, United States.

Zabriskie Point is a badlands area of pale tan, cream and yellow-brown sediment in the Amargosa Range, east of Death Valley. Sharp, undulating ridges are cut by narrow dry channels, and a broad sandy wash curves through the foreground. A flat valley floor lies below the dark Black Mountains, and the yellow pinnacle Manly Beacon rises to the right.

The viewpoint is named after Christian Brevoort Zabriskie, vice-president and general manager of the Pacific Coast Borax Company in the early 20th century. The company's twenty-mule teams hauled borax from its Death Valley mines. The badlands themselves are the eroded Furnace Creek Formation, lake sediments laid down from about nine million years ago until the lake dried up roughly five million years ago.

The location became known worldwide through Michelangelo Antonioni's 1970 film, which featured music by Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead. This film reference continues to draw visitors interested in cinema and music history.

The viewpoint sits just off California Route 190, with a parking area beside the road. A short paved walk leads to the lookout above the badlands. The sign at the viewpoint identifies Manly Beacon and explains the lakebed origins. Daylight is intense and shade is scarce, so carry water and sun protection.

The rocks here contain minerals from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up about five million years ago, long before Death Valley itself formed. This geological history is visible in the color layers that resemble a record of Earth's past.
