The lowest point in North America,
and the place with the highest temperature ever recorded. Of
course I had to visit there in July, the hottest time of the
year, not only to experience & document the incredible heat
but also to film the Kiehl's Badwater Ultramarathon. This foot
race is 135 miles from Badwater (-282 feet below sea level) up
to the Mount Whitney Portal (Over 8300 feet). The level of athleticism
is incredible, watching these people run 5 marathons for days
on end across the desert, uphill most of the way.
