Playa lakes are some the flattest landforms in the world and the moving, racing rocks are world famous. Vroom! Vroom! – Racetrack Playa. The National Park Service says this about the Racetrack, “Nestled in a remote valley between the Cottonwood and Last Chance Ranges, the Racetrack is a place of stunning beauty and mystery.
