The Pinnacles near Crater Lake, Oregon
Oct 1, 2021 00:06:04 #
Pinnacles Valley lets you view some of the leftovers after the eruption of Mount Mazama which later collapsed and formed Crater Lake in Southern Oregon. The Pinnacles are a group of volcanic pumice spires, colored various shades of grey and brown. They were formed by erosion along the south edge of the steep-sided canyon. Some cones are especially tall and graceful and taper very gradually to a sharp point.

Beautiful images. I visited Crater Lake several times, but never saw these rock formations. On my next trip, I have to explore this area. Thanks for sharing.

Nice shots! I don't recommend this as a parachute landing zone!
