Photos: Badwater

Badwater has the lowest elevation on this continent, at 282 feet (85.5 meters) below sea level. It's between two mountain ranges, which provide an interesting contrast.

There is a small bit of water, but it is primarily dry. I wish I had been here during one of the flood - heavy water from the sky - years. I saw a photo of two people kayaking in a very flooded Badwater (wide, yet shallow water) a couple of years back.
