Artist's Palette
Artist's Palette is a spectacular view spot in
Death Valley National Park. It lies on the face of the Black Mountains
at the top of Artist's Drive. It is characterized by various colors of rock
arising from the oxidation of different metals in the rock. The colors are
most intense during the mid-afternoon. The rock unit, known as the Artist's
Drive Formation, provides evidence for an explosive volcanic period in the
history of Death Valley.
