Caution: Do not underestimate the heat

The heat should not be underestimated… Despite the short distance

Harmony Borax Works and the famous Twenty mule teams brought the desert of Death Valley to homes across America. After borax was discovered near Furnace Creek Ranch (then called Greenland) in 1881, William T. Coleman built the Harmony Works and began processing the ore in late 1883 or early 1884. When fully operational, the Harmony Borax Works employed 40 men, producing three tons of borax daily. The little evidence that remains indicates that the majority of this workforce were Chinese laborers. The Chinese workers collected the impure mineral fragments from the valley floor and loaded them into horse-drawn wagons for transport to the borax works.

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

Zabriskie Point is a lookout point in the Amargosa Range in Death Valley National Park, known for its bizarre erosion landscapes around the former Lake Manly. It was named at the beginning of the 20th century after Christian Brevoort Zabriskie from Wyoming, the vice president and general manager of the Pacific Coast Borax Company, which was commissioned to mine borax in the area.

Furnace Creek Visitor Center offers information to visitors about the Death Valley and the small community of Furnace Creek. Here you can find water fountains, bathrooms, food services and small exhibitions about the ecosystem and the village.

Zabriskie Point is one of the most popular spots in Death Valley National Park. It can be reached by several trails, including the Zabriskie Point Trial, which is not too challenging. The viewpoint gives you a perfect view of the Furnace Creek formation, which is emblematic of the park.

The cover of the legendary U2 album "The Joshua Tree" was recorded here. The cover's tree was on the edge of the national park on Route 190 (a construction site in the winter of 2023), but has now died.
