  4. Located in Wells Gray Provincia; Park. BC north of Clearwater. The falls is about 185 feet high and flows into a volcanic gorge. Many layers of basaltic lava make up the colourful gorge. The reddish colour is caused by iron and other minerals in the basalt. Most recent lava flows were less than 1 million years ago...

  5. This 500 foot deep cleft was carved through the volcanic basalt layers which covered much of the interior of British Columbia. The creek flows into the Clearwater River. The west side road is visible on the opposite side.

  6. Lava Butte is a geologically young cinder cone at the north end of a series of vents radiating from Newberry Volcano. The eruption that formed the cinder cone also issued an extensive aa lava flow, seen here in the foreground near its southeast margin. Edi and Berti went exploring and made friends with a couple of th...

  7. Taken from in front of the observatory located atop the peak. I believe there are some chipmunks/ground squirrels down there trying to turn this into a meme. It's challenging to do a large GigaPan from up here because of the limited time allowed for parking. I was very fortunate that the ranger who was issuing the...

  8. What really caught my eye in this one was the near-horizontal columnar jointing in the basalts across the lake.

  9. After a long drive I arrived at Dry Falls just before sunset, but in time to fire off this GigaPan. I'd like to have had a little more sunlight to do a more detailed shot, but sometimes you just have to trade off detail for speed - especially when the sun is setting fast.

  10. High-res shot of the falls and columnar basalts.
