One-way unpaved scenic drive through yellow-and-brown badlands of eroded Furnace Creek Formation mudstone just east of Zabriskie Point. Named for the historic borax wagon teams; the short canyon road gives ground-level views of the same colorful hills that dominate the classic Death Valley overlooks without entering closed mine areas.
