Racetrack Playa: the walking stones of Death Valley
Can a large expanse of dry brown mud attract thousands of visitors every year? The answer is yes, especially if what has been happening there for years has been inexplicable to science. We are talking about the Racetrack Playa, a dried up lake that lies within the Death Valley, where dozens of rocks seem to move independently leaving behind the traces of their path.
The mystery of the origin of the phenomenon of the Racetrack Playa’s walking stones has made this isolated place not only a tourist destination but also a place of scientific research.
