Trona Pinnacles
Trona Pinnacles is one of the most unique landscapes in the California Desert. The tufa spires, some as high as 140 feet were formed underwater thousands of years ago when Searles Dry Lake connected Mono Lake to Death Valley.
When visiting this area you will understand why more than 30 movies and commercials are filmed here every year. Ideally suited for science fiction backdrops Star Trek V, Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes and Battlestar Galactica were all shot here.
