Providing a stark contrast to the landscape featured in the nearby Artist’s Palette and Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, the Devil’s Golf Course is a vast field of rock salt that’s been eroded into spires. Find an area with lots of salt crystals and bend your ear to the ground to hear the pops and pings of salt crystals exploding as the expand and contract. This is the kind of desolate and harsh landscape you’d imagine from a name like “Death Valley”.
