Probably the biggest surprise of our trip was being able to photograph Zabriskie Point at sunrise. We had figured that we would have to save this location for a future trip. We had it on good authority that the park service had completely closed the area while they made repairs to the walkway. Indeed, Zabriskie Point had been completely closed down. However, they had finished the work well ahead of schedule and the point had re-opened more than a month earlier than they had planned! This changed our itinerary immediately and we planned on doing sunrise the next day at the the point. We sure are glad it was open because we had an AMAZING sunrise! The view shown in this photo is actually looking sort of west-southwest, the opposite direction from which the sun was rising. It was one of those mornings, though, where the clouds all throughout the sky glowed with this rich color from the rising sun. And we sure had some beautiful clouds that morning!
