It is a visual wonderland, where imposing mountains rise almost two vertical miles above sprawling salt flats, and canyons are painted in strokes of blue, pink, violet, and green from sunrise to sunset.

But, ironically, it is water that has shaped this super-arid home of true survivors. "Life in Death Valley" airs on airs Sunday, August 7 at 8 p.m (E.T.) on PBS (check local listings).
