Photo Information

View is toward the east-northeast from atop Mammoth Mountain, Long Valley Caldera, California
Photograph by S.R. Brantley on August 2, 1998

View from atop Mammoth Mountain is toward the east-northeast. The resurgent dome is in middle center of photo. Glass Mountain is the highest point on the caldera rim along the center skyline and the White Mountains form the right skyline. The Town of Mammoth Lakes is in lower right. The prominent cone in the bottom center (note roads) is Lincoln Peak, one of the many thick flows and domes that built Mammoth Mountain. Just to the left of Lincoln Peak is Mammoth Knolls, thick rhyolite lava flows that were erupted about 100,000 years ago.
