Wow, here is it more than a year since our trip to Death Valley National Park and I am still able to get photo posts out of our journey. This post chronicles our visit to The Devil’s Golf Course.

This expanse of eroded rock salt is quite a sight. You reach the area, located just a few miles north of Badwater Basin, via a quarter mile dirt road that was well maintained when we visited. You find yourself in the midst of cracked and craggy salt chunks.

The formation itself really is just salt. You can clearly see the crystals that have formed from ages of evaporation.

Our view around the valley was amazing, with snow-covered Telescope Peak to the west. This panorama shows the breadth of the view. Click on the picture for a bigger view.

Here is the view of Telescope Peak with closer cropping.

The view to the north was also remarkable. The valley is full of beautiful colors.

And apparently, it is a golf course. Someone left behind a little joke.
