Day 3 brought us back to Zabriskie Point at Sunrise. It's always amazing how differently things and places look in different light. Sunrise vs. Sunset.
Zabriskie Point is just as beautiful in the morning as it is in the evening.
Zabriskie Point was named after Christian Zabriskie, for his years as general manager of the Pacific Coast Borax Company. The high peak in the bottom right-hand photo is called Manly Beacon and was named after William Manly, who was one of the pioneers that wondered into Death Valley in 1849.
Manly Beacon, from Zabriskie Point, looks like a shark tooth, but when you hike to the other side it has a much different look and feel. About an hour after we finished photographing the sunrise, five of us hiked over to Golden Canyon. As we started the hike the view of Manly Beacon kept changing and turned into a completely different looking structure. Part of the trail can be seen in the bottom left-hand photograph.
