This GigaPan illustrates a roadcut in Yellowstone National Park just north of Tower Falls that exposes 1.5 Ma basaltic lava flows that show a spectacular variety of columnar jointing textures. From this vantage point I couldn't get the old Beta GigaPan robot to incline high enough to capture the top of the cut (due to...

This GigaPan illustrates the Yellowstone River eroding down through a series of sediments and lava flows that have filled its valley in the last two million years. The prominent columnar jointed lava flows across the canyon are about 2 million years old and sandwich a layer of probable glacial till. The light was gre...

Yellowstone's many rivers are busily at work cutting down through post-caldera rhyolites throughout the park. Here the Firehole River (downstream from the famous hydrothermal areas) has cut a deep gorge in obsidian-rich rhyolites.

Latourell Falls which is about 250 feet reveals an example of columnar basalt from volcanic lava flows. The panorama was taken with a Canon 40D using exposure autobracketing. The exposures were fused in Photomatix Pro 3.2 using the adjust method. It was stitched using Autopano Giga 2.03 using the regular detection...

Palisade Falls in Hyalite Canyon are a remarkably picturesque site. The falls drop over a columnar jointed basalt flow which was erupted atop Eocene (?) conglomerates (Absaroka volcanics?). This GigaPan is about a tenth of the size of the one I intended to shoot. Unfortunately I hadn't carried a spare set of batteri...

Beacon Rock, the exposed core of an ancient volcano, dominates the middle section of the Gorge. It stands 848 feet tall above the mighty Columbia, and in these parts is considered to be the second largest monolith in the world, next to Gibraltar.
