Description
Death Valley National Park:
The low, salty pool at Badwater, is probably the best known and most visited place in Death Valley. A sign in front of the pool proclaims it to have an elevation of -282 feet, and it is here that everyone comes to take photographs.
It is the lowest place in Death Valley, and in the western hemisphere.
Badwater Basin is an endorheic basin in Death Valley National Park, Death Valley, Inyo County, California, noted as the lowest point in North America, with an elevation of 282 ft (86 m) below sea level. Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous 48 states, is only 84.6 miles (136 km) to the WNW.
The site itself consists of a small spring-fed pool of "bad water" next to the road in a sink; the accumulated salts of the surrounding basin make it undrinkable, thus giving it the name.
