13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
ZZYZX Road

Once a healing place, ZZYZX was named to be the last word in a dictionary. The soil was like walking on the moon, it sunk several inches and crunched. Composed of chlorite, borax, and other minerals it glistened like sugar coating the earth. This felt like the road at the end of the earth.
