Badwater basin below and the peaks of the Panamint mountains above are the results of the land tilting along active fault lines; the valley floor drops and the mountains rise. The steep slant of the rock layers exposed in the canyon below is evidence of this massive movement. Aguereberry point offers one of the most expansive vistas on the western side of death valley. Aguereberry point is 1930m above see level.
