These are mainly located within Death Valley National Park and include:
- Aguereberry Point - a promontory and vantage point for hikers in the Panamint Range, from which one can see the surrounding Panamint Range, Death Valley with Furnace Creek, and the salt plains of Badwater Basin and Mount Charleston in Nevada
- Amargosa Chaos - a series of geological formations located in the Black Mountains in the southern part of the Valley
- Artist’s Drive - an area on the slope of the Black Mountains known for its diverse rock colors. These colors were formed by the oxidation of various metals: red, pink, and yellow yield iron compounds, green - from the decomposition of mica derived from tuff, and purple - from manganese. This formation is evidence of one of the most explosive volcanic periods in Death Valley
- Badwater Basin - a salt plain consisting of almost pure table salt
- Wildrose Charcoal Kilns in the Panamint Range from 1877, were used to produce charcoal
- Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes - the 4-square kilometer dunes located in the northern part of the valley have often been used as desert backdrops in movies, including Star Wars
- Rainbow Canyon-commonly used by the US Army for fighter jet training
- Zabriskie Point - part of the Amargosa Range known for its erosive landscape. It consists of the sediments of Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up five million years ago, long before Death Valley was formed.
Zabriskie Point is also the title of Antonioni’s 1970 film, whose soundtrack featured music by Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones, among others.
