| Plants (mostly varieties of saltbush [Atriplex sp.], Russian thistle [Salsola sp.], and grasses) grow around pits on the playa surface where ephemeral ponds trap moisture (USDA, [2010h,i]).

The Dunes on north Panamint Valley are visible to the left of Lake Hill located on the southern flank of the Hunter Mountain. |
