Running along
the eastern border of California abutting Nevada, this
National
Forest has more than just trees, but the typical giant
rock outcroppings common
to the area, and a number of wondrous, serene lakes.
Forests and
"Rocky" Mountains
abound everywhere you look
Very bright out this
day, a vast
lake amidst the Mountains

Note on this rock face
the horizontal
cracks in the foreground. This volcanic rock used
to be under a mountain. Now the mountain is gone,
and the pressure that kept this rock dense
released.
So, the rocks cracked parallel to the surface,
and
now weather slowly away like onion skin over
time.
