The Racetrack at Death Valley National Park is a playa (a dry lakebed) best known for its strange moving rocks. A rare combination of ice and wind pushes along the mysterious rocks. Some of them weigh up to 700 pounds and have traveled over 1,500 feet.

When visiting the area, please remember to recreate responsibly and plan your trip with safety in mind! The road to the Racetrack is rough and remote, and good tires, 4x4 and high clearance are usually required. Travel on existing roads and do not move or remove any of the rocks. When the playa is wet, avoid walking in muddy areas and leaving ugly footprints. This helps ensure future visitors will continue to make lasting memories at this incredible place for generations to come.

'💥⚡Broome Just got Nailed⚡💥'
Yes i'd have to say that was the storm of the season that just hit Broome. Ground scraping savagery, lightning, heavy rains and winds. Words just cant describe how wild that was.
