Description
Badwater Basin in Death Valley National Park, California is the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level. Periodic rainstorms flood the valley floor but soon evaporate because of the intense heat, leaving behind a pattern of crystals on the salt pan. Average annual rainfall in Badwater Basin is 1.9 inches a year. According to legend, Badwater gets its name from a mule that refused to drink the salty water.
