  1. As seen from the O'Shaughnessy Dam.

  2. As seen from the parking area.

  3. A Tertiary aged lava flow filled a valley. However, once solidified it's proven more resistant to erosion than the rocks of the valley wall, thus it now caps a hill.

  4. ... and some wildfauna, too.

  5. A living orange carpet, a few lone oaks, and a rocky ridge.

  6. Spring is California wildflower season. See how many varieties you can identify...

  7. One of the stops I expect to make on tomorrow's Bakersfield College field trip to destinations in eastern Kern County.

  8. A pastoral scene in Kernville, CA.

  9. The mountain seen here is cored by a pendant of metasedimentary rocks in the southern Sierra Nevada batholith.

  10. There's even an auto tour of the McNally Fire of 2002: www.fs.fed.us/r5/sequoia/maps/brochures/McNally-Fire-2002-Auto-Tour.pdf Will open in a new tab or window
