Eureka Dunes:

Among the tallest dunes in North America, rising up to 680 feet, known for their "singing sands."

Harmony Borax Works:

A historic site where borax was mined and processed, famously associated with the 20-mule teams that transported the mineral.

Racetrack Playa:

Known for its moving rocks, where stones leave tracks on the dry lake bed in a mysterious way.
