Map Satellite One of many fractures in the glassy volcanic rock covering the area north of Mammoth Mountain, this is easily reached by road and has been developed as a picnic area. Technically this is a rift or fissure, several meters across and nearly twenty deep. The sides of the crack would fit together perfectly if it were to close.
The area lies in a red fir forest.
Integrity: Developed as a picnic area which does not affect the prime feature.
Use: Observational, light recreational
