When I check in Furnace Creek Ranch, I asked the them best area to see the sunrise, they told me Zabriskie Point, actually, when you face the Zabriskie Point, sunrise is from your back, however, when sunrise, Zabriskie Point become more colorful and brilliant. It's nice area to see the sunrise. More

Death Valley when you first see it seems not to have much to see but desert but take the time to park the car and get up early in the morning to drive to a point to see what is really beautiful.

Good viewpoint, best to visit early morning specially just now before it gets really hot. Short sharp walk up a hill but view worth it. Quite hard to do it justice image wise unless you're there at sunrise. More

Nice place to watch the sunset, since its closer to the lodging and can be kept at the last in your itinerary when plan to return back to the room. More

About 6 miles from Furnace Creek. Easy short walk to the vista point overlooking rock formations and the valley. Took some neat night pictures during full moon. More

Interesting views/photographs. Disappointed in the sun rise/set at the point - not much different views than at other times of the day - better photographs of the sun rise/set from Dante's view, but that's quite a drive to be there for them More
