Death Valley Pictures
Devils Golf Course
This area, the remains of Death Valley's last lake which disappeared over 2,000 years ago is high enough that the periodic floods don't smooth it out. The lumpy surface is formed when salty water rises up through the mud. As the water evaporates, it leaves little pillars of salt behind.
