Furnace Creek via Bad Water

We hung a left after Shoshone to take the scenic route to Furnace Creek via Bad Water.

You can never recall how isolated it really is once you get into the valley proper and all the vegetation drops away.

We initially thought we were lucky to see a family of coyotes until we realized they were begging for food. If I were them U's be hitching a lift out of there!

Of course we had to stop and take a lick of salt! There was also quite a lot of standing water that seemed very unusual.

  1. Small amount of research says mostly sodium chloride at Bad Water Flats. Borax very prevalent in rest of the valley, though. Still, I know you researched that already. Oh yes :-)
