Check Out Devils Golf Course

Death Valley National Park

An immense area of rock salt eroded by wind and rain into jagged spires. So incredibly serrated that "only the devil could play golf on such rough links." Listen carefully and you'll hear sounds like tiny pops and pings. The sound is literally billions of tiny salt crystals bursting apart as they expand and contract in the heat.

Accessibility

The salt formations can be seen from the car; the dirt road and parking area is made from compacted gravel suitable for most vehicles.

Pets

No — You may take your pet along roads, to campgrounds, picnic areas, and other developed areas of the park, but they must be restrained or kept on a leash no longer than 6 feet at all times. Pets are not allowed inside most buildings or on trails, but you also can not leave them in your car while you are away as they can quickly become deadly hot. Most pet owners find that both their pets and themselves are happier if the pets are left at home or in a kennel.
