California, at the very southern end of the Owens Valley. Looking north up Owens Valley; the prominent rounded hill is Red Hill, a classic cinder cone. As is usual with such features, it's surrounded by young basalt flows. The highway barely visible on the slope to the left is US 395. In the Pleistocene, a river from ancestral Owens Lake overflowed thru here to drain into China Lake. It left a now-dry waterfall, Fossil Falls, cutting thru the basalts by Red Hill.

For those who perished at the camp.

View west toward the Sierra crest. All the barracks were torn down years ago.
