Jerry and Ashley are trying to find out if it is possible to see the lowest point in the USA from the highest point in the USA. It turns out that the highest point in the United States, the peak of Mount Whitney, is only 85 miles from the lowest area, a large flat stretch of land in Death Valley called Badwater Basin. Includes two posters from student projects. Aligns with G-C.A.2.
