The Racetrack in Death Valley National Park is one of the most interesting and odd places I have been. On this dry lake bed these rocks, some weighing upward of 100+ pounds, carve trenches into the playa as they move sometimes over a mile. This process is still not completely understood and remains a mystery still to today.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing different versions of that amazing place. Loved this one, the composition is spot on and that sky is a dream!

awesome. such a fascinating place :). "How the Earth Was Made" recently had a Death Valley episode and talked about this. some geologists think the rocks travel during a rainstorm since the mud there becomes super slick so the rocks slide across. its a natural windtunnel there so the theory is the wind pushes them during a storm. but still, nobody has witnessed it in person =P

I did see that. It was a great show. I had heard that theory as well before I went out there, but after going out there I am just not sure that is the full story because there are some rocks that are extremely flat and it wouldnt have alot of resistence to the wind. I dont know tho. Thank you :)
