•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

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

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
