Ubehebe Crater, Death Valley National Park

Signs warn of the somewhat obvious risk you take as you approach the edge of Ubehebe Crater. Of course, if you're not smart enough to realize there's a steep, 700+ foot drop directly in front of you, you're probably not bright enough to notice a sign either.

You might find a few wildflowers clinging to the edge of the crater.

Ubehebe Crater was one of the windiest places I visited on my trip. Gusts rush up the edge of the crater and could easily blow you over if you come too close to the edge.

Speaking of wildflowers, the landscape near Ubehebe Crater was carpeted with purple blooms during my visit in April, 2005. This was a display of color unlike any other I found in the park.

Tip:

From Ubehebe Crater, you can begin your trip to another one of the park's attractions: the Racetrack. The large, flat, dry lakebed is a common feature in car commercials. However, to reach this area, you must be driving a 4wd high clearance vehicle. Or, attempt it in your rental car at your own risk.
