Gindarja Springs is an alignment of depressions (intermittent springs) that consists of three large indentations aligned in a northwesterly direction within the Racetrack playa area of Death Valley, USA.[1] Two are completely within the Racetrack playa and the third is on the edge. All three are associated with significant vegetation.
