    Hiking

    The loop trail takes you into the Death Valley hinterland alongside the Zabriskie Point lookout. The loop is approximately 4.3 km long and can be extended to around 13 km via the Golden Canyon and Gower Gulch.
    The trail should be avoided in the summer months due to the heat. Spring and late autumn are the best times for hiking, even in November you can still hike here in a t-shirt and shorts.

    Hiking

    In case you take the long tour, bring enough water and sunscreen. The scenery reminds me of 50 shades of beige :-)
    My personal highlight of the tour: I fell in love with the car I drive now in the trailhead parking lot.
