The playa is best known for one of the most strangest mysteries of the planet the sliding rocks.
These rocks can be found on the floor of the playa with long trails behind them.
The stones move only every two or three years and most tracks develop over three or four years.
Stones with rough bottoms leave straight striated tracks while those with smooth bottoms wander.
Trails differ in both direction and length.
To this day, no one has ever seen the rocks move.
Her research suggest that a rare combination of rain and wind conditions unlock the rocks to move.
Strong winds of 50 mph or more, may skid the large boulders along the slick mud.
At an elevation of 3,700 feet, strong winds can rake the playa at 70 miles per hour.
But even small gust of wind may move the rocks.
It is forbidden to erect any permanent structures or instrumentation.
