Death Valley Devil's Golf Course

The salt flats in Badwater basin cover nearly 200 square miles and they are the largest protected salt flats in the world.

Here is our daughter and my honey.  He did not look up.  There is a picture with him looking up but I like this one of Tricia better.


That little bitty white speck up on the mountain side shows where sea level is.  Badwater basin is 282 feet below sea level.  The lowest spot in the United States.  The Dead Sea in Jordan/Israel is the lowest in the world at 1360 feet below sea level.

This water actually has a bunch of critters swimming in it.

This is a close up of some of the salt crystals
