Instead of going to Zabriskie point head around the other side and do the Golden Canyon- Gower Gulch loop. It takes you to the same golden badlands that you see from Zabriskie Point but you get to stretch your legs and run around it instead of just standing there with the crowds. This trail is really busy. But it's really good and I think most of the tourists just go down Golden Canyon and back out instead of doing the whole Golden Canyon to Gower Gulch loop. It's great to do the whole loop you experience the golden badlands, red rocks, and the multi color totally different vibe of Gower Gulch. I dream about the colors of this park and this little hike is a good way to experience them #hiking
