Additional Details:
While much of Death Valley's horror is exaggeration, its evil name is partially deserved. It has been a huge cauldron in which the desert sun has often cooked up a bitter kettle for man and beast. It is a strange even sinister valley that sinks pot like in the desert. Around it rises high ridges of slag mountains, the Panamints on the West, with a 12,000 foot altitude, and to the East the Terra Cotta Funeral Range, 10,000 feet high. The floor of the valley is 284 feet below sea level.
