Racetrack Playa

Detailed Description

 

A rock and part of a sliding rock trail rises above the very shallow water on the Racetrack Playa. The playa is typically dry year round. However, the winter of 2003 produced more precipitation than normal. In recent years, as much as a foot of snow has been observed on the playa.
