The ancient stage wheeze comes to life when one stands at "Bad Water" on the floor of Death Valley, California, Cali-fornia, 276 feet below sea level, and looks off on a clear day to the northwest where Mt. Whitney, king of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, rears his snowy head, 14,501 feet above sea level. The two points, the lowest and the highest in continental United States, are within sight of each other. Death Valley, one of the world's most dramatic scenic spectacles, available to tourist travel only in the winter months, was created a National Monument by Congress in February, 1933. |
