have you ever tried to put the sun in a state of pause? i have. and after begging and pleading, the sun, she finally obeyed. driving home from mammoth, there was one mission at hand. beat the sunset to fossil falls. there is this fantastic little area right off of the 395 called fossil falls. it boasts being these natural formations that have been created by fire and ice. and they are awesome. as you walk across this rocky plain, you suddenly come across, what i can only describe as a mars like, world. caverns and gullys, all made of this petrified lava rock, litter the canvas. it is sensational. i have been there several times but trying to hit it, right when the sunlight is at it's rosiest, was an absolute mission. and on this particular day, two girls were able to put the sun on pause for one afternoon, as operation beat the sun to fossil falls was in full effect.
so to get to the falls, you have to take a quick little detour down a dirt road off of the hwy 395.
once you park, you'll get out and follow the sign towards.....
(ps. they have a delightful bathroom there if the need is there)
once you are on your way, follow the path forward....
(doesn't it seem a little mars like???)
in approximately .21 miles you will start to notice low and behold, giant lava rocks.
according to the helpful sign i now know that these are formed by the flowing fire and ice.
some of the crevasse's are so big that you can sit inside them!
mars i tell ya.
and then the sunset and we had to high tail it out of there!
xoxo.
