Badwater
In Death Valley, the earth sheds its mantle of green and gives way to
fantastic geologic formations with fanciful names like Devil's Golf Course and
Badwater. It's the lowest (and hottest) place in the United States, yet its historic
National Park lodge, the Furnace Creek Inn offers pamper-me luxury and finer
cuisine and service than you might expect in the middle of the desert.
