That was actually my second visit to Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park, back in the summer of 2009. I had already fallen in love with the place on my first trip, and despite the brutal heat, I couldn’t resist coming back.
We were in the middle of summer, and temperatures were already unbearable not long after sunrise. I remember we camped nearby and woke up very early just to catch a glimpse of this surreal landscape before the heat made it impossible to explore.
This overlook is well known for its soft colours at sunrise and the wide open view of the badlands. But for me, it was always the shapes and textures that captured my attention — these ridges carved by erosion, like waves frozen in time.
