| The Crowley Columns are located on the eastern shore of Crowley Lake in California. |
 |
| The odd formations were revealed by wave erosion on the shore of an LA Dept of Water and Power reservoir. |
 |
| The formations are believed to have been formed after an eruption of the Long Valley super volcano 760,000 years ago. |
 |
| It's theorized that rainwater seeping into a fresh layer of hot ash, then escaping out again as steam caused these pillars. |
 |
| The sun was being filtered by an ever-changing Sierra cloud formation and it was casting some nice, even light. |
 |
| Plenty of holes and small caverns to check out around here. |
 |
| The ground is littered with segments of previously eroded columns. |

 |
| Forrest and Deanna are two of my friends that I met while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. |
 |
| I didn't explore the entire eastern side but it looks like there are more caves further down. |
 |
| These totally look like the remains of an ancient civilization. |
 |
| More pillars waiting to be revealed. |
 |
| It resembles a jail or cage. |
 |
| These are so cool. |
 |
| Let me out! |
 |
| L2R: Mammoth Mountain, The Minarets, Mt. Ritter and Banner Peak. |
 |
| These are more fin-like than the columns. |
 |
| Forrest and Deanna provide some scale. |
 |
| Some weird winter light. |
 |
| This would be a cool place to camp. |
