\"Badwater,
Badwater, Death Valley<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nDay 3 of my Death Valley excursion.\u00a0 Badwater.\u00a0 Aptly named as this is the lowest point in North America, at the hottest spot on earth, and there’s actually a small pool of water at this point!\u00a0 Of course the amount of salt in the water makes it completely undrinkable…hence the name.\u00a0 An ancient lake bed, this amazing place collects all the minerals and salt from the surrounding land that drain in to the basin during floods. These minerals then form amazing shapes and polygons out on this seemingly endless stretch of salt.\u00a0 As luck would have it this was my one good sunset with clouds…and it was super promising.\u00a0 As I scouted the area I eventually set off on a trek out to find the best examples of this phenomenon that I could.\u00a0 While doing so I came across this particular formation that really caught me.\u00a0 With the late afternoon light it seems as if it were a tree of salt.\u00a0 I snapped this photo and then moved on as I was constantly looking for unique shapes.\u00a0 Of course little did I realize that I would try, without success, to find this spot again once sunset took hold.\u00a0 Glad I stopped when I did \ud83d\ude42
