Stop #16
Panoramic View
In this tour of the Queen and Pleasant Valley's, we've seen rock records dating back nearly
two billion years. Mountain building over at least two separate and distinct periods, examples
of different type of erosion and indication of how, and why man survived in the desert. With
the active San Andreas fault to the south, and minor faults such as the Blue Cut, the scenery
here is dynamic and subject to change -- Exactly how it will change though, can only be left
to speculation.
