  The Racetrack as seen from a distance.
The Racetrack is a dry lake, or playa, which is normally dry, but can be wet or be covered by several inches of water after a rainstorm. The valley containing the playa is called a bolson, which means purse in Spanish. Many geomorphic terms in the southwestern United States are Spanish in origin.
