Prominent basaltic peak in the Coso Volcanic Field east of US-395 near Little Lake / Fossil Falls country. Part of the young volcanic landscape that fed lava flows into the ancestral Owens River system — a high-standing landmark for desert geology touring between Ridgecrest and Lone Pine, separate from the polished basalt potholes at Fossil Falls ACEC.
