Death Valley

Badwater
Contains the oldest rocks called Precambrian they are estimated to be about 1.7 billion years old
As magma was forced into the rocks over time they began to change, making it now very hard to see how the rocks used to look.


Golden Canyon 
This trail provides a look into the heart of Death Valley. As you look out towards the Panamint Mountains you get a glimpse at what look like cuts running down the mountain Lots of past flooding has changed the composition of the rocks we see today.


Racetrack Playa 
This flat land is lies in the middle of the surrounding mountains. Small to massive boulders do cover some of the area. This area is known for the lines left behind boulders which no one can explain, the mystery as been said that they move but no one has seen them do so. There is no other explanation for the lines on the flat land followed by boulders.
