The Mysterious Racetrack Playa USA


If we are visiting the Dead Valley, we should never forget to visit Racetrack Playa USA. This racetrack is one of the unique and mysterious attractions in the world. Not all Death Valley National Park are able to see the racetrack. On the park, we can find grandstands, which is a rock formation lied on the dry lake bed. The rock formation breaks off then fall onto the dry lake. One thing that makes it so popular is the movement of the rock.

No one has even seen Racetrack Playa USA movement, but the stones are leaving tracks. It is impossible for the rock to be blown by the wind because the rocks are heavy and big. The dried lake bed is so sticky, so it is impossible for wind to move the rocks. This nature phenomenon was found in 1900 and some people guessed that the movement is involving magnetic forces, but it cannot be proved as well. 

Another mysterious thing is when visitors stepping their feet on the lake bed surface, there are no shoe tracks, but the stones are able to draw a deep track. Well. No matter what the scientists’ speculations are, Racetrack Playa USA can be our best destination for the nearest holiday.
