Sitting 282-feet below sea level, this natural basin is the lower point in the United States and all of North America. While the water in the spring-fed basin is undrinkable (it has an incredibly high amount of salt), it still manages to feed numerous flora and fauna that live in the region. There are also large polygon-shaped salt pans that you can explore or hike across during your visit.
