Notes: Bad Water is the lowest point in the US (at least on land). It is 282 feet (85.5 m) below sea level. The Panamint Range is in the background. Easy access, short walk, wouldn't drink the water. This is a very enjoyable (and large) national park. Furnace Creek Inn and Ranch are nice places to stay.
