Greetings, rock fans! This website describes research on the sailing stones of Racetrack Playa in beautiful Death Valley National Park.

The famous sailing stones range from several grams up to tens of kg and leave long (hundreds of meters) arcuate trails on the playa’s surface. In spite of many decades of meticulous field studies, the stones have not been reported in motion.
