Our next stop of the day was Fossil Falls near the town of Coso. This volcanic feild is still considered a potential hazard as the most recent eruptions…
Fossil Falls is an interesting basalt flow that was eroded by a large river during the last ice age. Eddies in the water swirled gravel, pebbles and boulders on…
When it rains the potholes fill with water and are home to fairy shrimp! Only a few were out and about in the little water that remained from December storms.
Z found a petroglyph.
Eroded and polished basalt flows.
This is the "Manhole". Its a 10' deep pot-hole that eroded clean-through the basalt and offers a unique climbing challenge.
Scrambling to get a look at the petroglyph.
Contemplating the lava flows.
Capturing the view for posterity, no doubt.
Z catches some great light in a pothole.

Hopefully we'll be able to take a shot like this in Iceland someday soon.
