Description
Drive to Death Valley National Park, the largest area in the United States in the morning, there is an unexplained geological phenomenon in the valley of death - the stones on the ground move themselves and leave parallel slide marks on the ground! This strange phenomenon appears in the valley of the dead valley "Racetrack Playa". The traces of these stones move very short, and the depth of the slide left in the soil is not deep. But these traces of movement are rarely regular, but clearly visible. Strange is, we can clearly see the trajectory of moving at 4-5 stone are parallel.
At present, the phenomenon of stone movement in the valley of the dead valley remains a mystery, including scientists are unable to make an accurate final explanation, they can only come up with a far fetched explanation - when it's in mud and storm, these stones are moving at the same time. This mystery is still research by scientist effortly.
After the end of the journey, we will go to the tent site. Here is also a good place to watch sunset, it will give people a long river sunset magnificent circle. When night comes, we set up a barbecue stove, put up tents, chat with friends, drink wine, eat meat, feel the magic force of nature, waiting for the arrival of the night. After dark, the moon slowly climbed into the sky, the stars are with their smiley faces, hand travel together in a huge stampede in the sky. At this time, we can pick up our beloved camera, set up tripods, shoot the most beautiful state of the sky.

Description
Drive to Death Valley National Park, the largest area in the United States in the morning. The park is full of beautiful scenery, and we will visit the most famous scenic spots around the park. Before we get into the park, we'll stop at the ticket office, and you can also take a map here, and seal the death valley on the passport of the national park.
And then we'll go to the most attractive place, also the highest point of Death Valley - Dante 's view, standing at 5000 feet, look at the whole death valley, and you can take a whole picture of the death valley, from a distant mountain range to a nearby salt marsh. Dante's View is the best viewing place of death valley, you can also see the highest point Mt. Whitney and the lowest point Badwater in the western United states at the same time. Standing on the scenic spots viewing from the east to the west, Telescope Peak stands in front of us, Far away is a vast expanse of bad water and salt land.
When you return from Dante's View, you can go through Zabriskie Point. Starting from the parking lot, climb mountains with not long trail, you can see the undulating mountains, colorful rocks, a variety of colors overlapping layers. The mountain peaks, ravines and gullies criss-cross, too beautiful to be absorbed all at once, I don't know what kind of words to describe it for a while. The golden hills and ravines, shining brilliant and vicissitudes of life. Saline Lake dried up millions of years left by the Pacific Century, leaving bare rock as the sun exposure, then the formation of this volcano like stone, when close contact, can see the rock texture clearly, make you sigh of the miracle of nature. If these gullies are really water eroded, then how much time and patience did the rainfall take to create such a gorgeous surface only a little bit more than the Sahara?
Then, we'll go to the devil's Golf Course, this is not a real golf course, it is exposed to the weather and the formation of ups and downs, salt land with spire like crystallization, that's why it's called devil's golf course is because of its bad terrain, no one can play golf on this land except the devil. If you really play here, then you have to take a devil's training. And then we'll go to the Bad Water, the lowest point in the North America, where it's 282 feet below sea level.
Finally, we'll go to the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, a 14 square mile stretch of sand dunes, it's the easiest sand dune to drive in Death Valley National Park, it's on the edge of highway 190. It's very conspicuous. There is a sand dune parking lot on the side of the road, which can go straight into the sand dunes from the parking lot. It's called the sand dune, not the desert, because it's actually not big enough. From the sand dunes you can observe footprints of active animal, and formed a special ecological plant mesquite sand area. If there is an indescribable feeling of loneliness, it is not only because of the rolling sand dunes, but also because of those who died in the dunes of trees. It is said that here is a good place to watch the sunset, presumably sunset time, will give people a long river sunset magnificent circle. -
