The lookout point is named after the mine owner Christian Breevort Zabriskie, born on October 16, 1864, who was Vice President and General Manager of the Pacific Coast Borax Company for 36 years. This produced borax in Death Valley.

Zabriskie Point became known worldwide mainly through the Hollywood thriller of the same name by Michelangelo Antonioni from 1969. This viewpoint is located southeast of Furnace Creek Ranch on Highway 190. It offers a unique view of the Badwater and Artist's Palette below and is surrounded by a breathtaking backdrop of striking eroded furrows and ocher-colored mud deposits.

This is one of the famous viewpoints of the park. It is surrounded by wild, sandy, barren mountains.

Viewpoint on a fascinating geomorphology and structural geology. It's worth seeing, but unfortunately that's why it's also a classic tourist spot in Death Valley.
