These sailing stones are a really cool photograph, but I’ve read where some photographers will move the rocks after photographing them so that no one else can come and get the same picture. If you can make it out here, the racetrack is a dry playa where rocks mysteriously slide across it, leaving long tracks behind them. From the Ubehebe Crater, it is a 2.5 hour drive on very rough dirt roads. This is an off-the-beaten track kind of place and a 4×4 or high-clearance vehicle is required.

This overlook is over 5,000 feet above the valley floor.

To get a bird’s eye view of the valley floor, head to Dante’s View.
