    The Eastern Sierra is amazing! FYI: The radio telescopes are there in the valley due to minimal local radio interference because of the mountains, not because of the lack of light.

    What's amazing about California is even though 40 million people live here, there are still countless acres of pristine wilderness, mountains, parks, forests, lakes where you can go and be by yourself in a quiet place alone. California is still the greatest country on Earth.

    Formation
    The pillars were simply regarded as oddities until 2015 when geologists from UC Berkeley realized that they were the result of frigid water from melting snow seeping down into volcanic ash (the result of a catastrophic eruption more than 760,000 years prior), creating tiny holes in the hot ash, the byproduct being boiling water and steam, which then rose up, creating convection cells, which later filled with minerals more resistant to erosion than the surrounding volcanic ash.

    I was just up that way fishing. Crowley has great trout fishing. But the place is so packed you can walk across the boats they are so close to each other on opening day. It does get cold up there and I have fished on Crowley in late spring and snow was still falling on the lake. Thanks for the sweet video. Oh yes one more thing, June Lake also has fantastic accomodations to stay at and nice camping spots for RVs. Fishing superb too.

      They're only still beautiful because they Are restricted, otherwise there's be rubbish, crappy little buildings & RVs all over the place.

      @iainsanders4775 with a list of what not to do's and some hefty fines for not understanding them, I would hope people are smart enough to make the right decisions
