Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Racetrack Playa (officially The Racetrack) is a seasonally dry lake located in the northern part of the Panamint Mountains in Death Valley National Park, Inyo County, California. It is famous for sailing stones, rocks that mysteriously move across its surface. The playa is nestled between the Cottonwood Mountains to the east and the Last Chance Range to the west. During periods of heavy rain, water washes down from nearby mountain slopes onto the playa, forming a shallow, short-lived lake. Under the hot Death Valley sun, the thin veneer of water quickly evaporates, leaving behind a layer of soft mud. As the mud dries, it shrinks and cracks into a mosaic of interlocking polygons.
