Content: Most accessible are the Mesquite Flat Dunes. Death Valley’s dunes come in different forms: There are crescent, linear and star types, for example, all named for the shapes they describe. Badlands
One of the most renowned vistas in Death Valley National Park can be had at Zabriskie Point, which features an impressive nest of badlands. These are heavily eroded and barren sedimentary formations, most famously associated with certain parts of the Great Plains but found in many dry regions of the globe. Set along Furnace Creek, the Zabriskie Point badlands, carved out of mudstone, are particularly scenic against the blank flats of Death Valley and the mountains looming beyond. Nearby Landforms
Death Valley National Park includes plenty of notable landforms outside of Death Valley proper, as it covers a great deal of terrain in the surrounding mountains, as well as adjacent basins such as Panamint Valley. Explorers who appreciate the Mesquite Flats dunes and the salt pans of Badwater Basin should take the time to visit the Devil’s Hole in the Amargosa Desert to the east, for example, or the canyons and snowfields of the high country.
