•The rock
formation was
created by the
san Andréas fault
that is proof that
its going
underground
The interesting
thing about the rock
structure is it tells
you how long it has
been there and what
years were
extremely dry
compared to the
years that had
droughts.
•Located at the
Highway 138 and
Interstate 15 junction,
the Mormon Rocks
are visual evidence of
the San Andreas fault
lying beneath the
California surface.
Cinder hill is a basaltic cinder cone in the Coso Volcanic field near Fossil Falls State Park
The lava flow
pictured here is
a basaltic lava
flow that gives
you an idea of
how active these
volcanoes used
to be
Here is some of
the stream bed
that leads to
what was once a
waterfall
Fossil falls
were formed by
melted glacier
water that
eventually
carved a path
into the rocks
These holes were
formed when the
running water carved
a path into the rocks
when debris would
break off a small
portion
The local natives
had they type of
mineral we saw alot
of these next to the
former river
because it would
travel down from
the volcano and the
local tribes would
shape and fashion
them into weapons
to hunt with
Done by the local
tribe of the coso
region this
Petroglyph is a story
of the big horns in
the region I believe
These house rings were
used by the local tribes it
served to them as a base
of their homes from when
they would come back
from their migrations
during different seasons
Mt. Whitney is the
highest elevation in
the entire us at
14,505 ft

If you see the
“U” Shaped
into the
sierras
Nevada's
these were
cut out by
glaciers
many years
ago

This lake was
formed in 1872
after a huge
earthquake next to
the lone pine fault

I took this picture of the date on the cement that was made by those held at the internment camp in the area that would be a form of a court yard

In The Right You See Paoha Island And to the left of that you see Negit the volcano island
Luis Roque
If you see the darker portion cut into the mountain side those are the ancient shore lines of mono lake before water was diverted to los Angeles
Luis Roque
Formed by spring water mixing with alkaline from the lake

Convict lake was formed by a glacier that carved out a path you have the oldest rocks at the very back of the photo covered with snow
Luis Roque
•Warmed up by volcanic lava this is why the hot spring has smoke rising from it

•The Sheer Size of these knives intrigues me because the amount of time it must of took to make this was tremendous but I suppose what else were the early people going to do for fun.
