7 Minaret Road, Mammoth Lakes, California
Description
The Earthquake Fault is a wonderful natural phenomenon that cuts through volcanic rock, part of a glassy rhyolite lava flow from Mammoth Mountain, and formed by tectonic stresses in the earth's crust. Lining up with the Inyo-Mono Craters, it is believed to be a part of the east-west stretching that is continuously and gradually widening the entire Basin and Range region.
There is a short walking trail that surrounds this natural feature, along with majestic red fir and Jeffrey pine trees which make this a nice spot for a picnic.

Fàcil accés, proper a la ciutat. Al costat de la falla. Hi ha lavabos però bruts.
