Tucked behind an unassuming yellow landscape, the rainbow of Artists Palette at Death Valley National Park is the highlight along the Artists Drive Scenic Loop. Visitors marvel at an array of colors splashed across the hills. These colors are created by volcanic deposits rich in compounds such as iron oxides and chlorite, which produce a rainbow effect.
Too much sunlight can dull this rocky spectrum on a typical bright day. So, this area is best seen during the evening or on rare overcast days.
