"Death Valley boasts, and rightfully so, the greatest contrasts to be found in this country. Precipitate mountains and majestic canyons overlooking the extreme in flat, barren valleys; contrasts in elevations from 280 feet below sea level at Bad Water to 11,045 above at Telescope Peak, towering directly above, the greatest abrupt rise from base to tip to be found in the United States." - p.[1].
