Spring Break - Bad Waters, Death Valley


Enjoyed our visit to Bad Waters in Death Valley National Park.
Bad Waters is 282 feet below sea level. Lowest point in North America.
Temperature was in the mid 70s for us that day.
But in the summer it could be supper hot, 130 F.
So if you don't like very hot weather, don't visit this place in the summer.


Here is a shot of some Bad Waters in some areas.

Lots of salt here. Amazing salt shapes rocks!

Our shoes

Another view of the Bad Waters Basin. When it rains enough, this gets full of water and becomes a lake.

Fun to walk on this unique surface!

Having fun with our shadows!


Thinking about hiking across this dry salt lake basin to the other side of the valley.
Should we do it, should we not?
