I am out in #California and visited Devils Golf Course at @deathvalleynps today! Despite its name, it is not an actual golf course. It is a large salt pan on the floor of Death Valley. It was named after a line in the 1934 @nationalparkservice guide book to Death Valley National Monument, which stated that "Only the devil could play golf" on its surface, due to a rough texture from the large halite salt crystal formations. Lake Manly once covered the valley to a depth of 30 feet. The salt in Devils Golf Course consists of the minerals that were dissolved in the lake's water and left behind in the Badwater Basin when the lake evaporated. #ca #cahistory #nationalpark #nps #FindYourPark #devilsgolfcourse #deathvalley #deathvalleynationalpark #badwaterbasin #history #goparks #ushistory #americanhistory #nationalparkgeek #travelblog #travelblogger #explore #blog #blogger #beautiful #nature #geology #saltcrystal (at Death Valley National Park)

My Top 3 Photo Shoot Locations in Death Valley National Park using Off Camera Flash and Natural Lighting...new video released! Check it out by clicking the link in my BIO. This video takes you through 3 shoots that I did with the incredible and funny @shalinitin_srivastava There's also some really funny bits in there as we traverse the Mesquite Sand Dunes. Let's just say my fitness trek is on full display lol. 2 of the 3 shoots were also done with the Sony A6500 using the @tamronusa 17-70mm lens. So if you're interested in seeing what that small and mighty kit can do, here's your chance! I hope you like it and thanks for watching. Please give it a thumbs up and a comment if you can. A big thanks to @setaside2 for loaning me that lens. I appreciate it my man. Settings: Sony A6500, 1/4000 sec, f/2.8, 17mm, ISO 100. #photoshoot #photoshootlocation #deathvalleynationalpark #deathvalley #devilsgolfcourse #dantesview #mesquiteflatsanddunes #offcameraflash #offcameraflashphotography #fashion #sunray #red #yellow #blue #jasonlanierworkshops #jasonlanier #tamronlens #tamron1770mm (at Death Valley National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPgNl5xFBo2/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's hard to describe the surface of Devil's Golf Course in Death Valley National Park, so here's a close-up. The ground looks like dirty ice but feels like rock. This is looking west toward the Panamint range... @deathvalleynps #deathvalley #deathvalleynps #deathvalleynationalpark #devilsgolfcourse (at Death Valley National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPalobYF1lS/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is the Devil's Golf Course in Death Valley National Park. It lies near the northern end of Badwater Basin and in this area, the salt flats are eroded by wind and rain. The area is brown and craggy and hard to walk on. Apparently only the devil could play golf here. This is looking west, and if you're very quiet you can actually hear the salt expanding and contracting in the heat... @deathvalleynps #deathvalley #deathvalleynps #deathvalleynationalpark #devilsgolfcourse (at Death Valley National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPX-DseFSwr/?utm_medium=tumblr

Badwater Basin and Devil's Golf Course. It feels really weird to be in the Badwater Basin looking up at a sea level sign 282 feet up above on the mountain above. . We drove in from Shoshone and spent two nights at Sunset Campground in the Furnace Creek Area. We found cell signal at Dantes Viewpoint. . #deathvalley #deathvallleynps #belowsealevel #badwaterbasin #devilsgolfcourse #landscapes #greatoutdoors #outdoorphotography #rvliving #outdoorlife #fulltimerv #alwaysanadventure #homeiswhereyouparkit (at Death Valley National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMfcLpfhGdZ/?igshid=d0ynp60rl663

I do miss a couple things about Death Valley. One of those things being the weird freaking salt. #deathvalley #devilsgolfcourse #salt #geology #california #desert #findyourpark (at Devil's Golf Course) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8sffcZDQmD/?igshid=ocd1xyen1e1d
