333 Seeing Like A Geologist: Panum Crater at Sunset

Have you ever wondered how the Mono Basin formed? Take a sunset stroll up Panum Crater while discovering the geologic history of the Mono Basin. Learn how to read the stories of glaciers, volcanoes, and tectonic plates on the landscape from atop one of the earth's youngest volcanoes. This is about a 1.5 mile walk on an at-times uneven path that includes some elevation gain. Bring warm layers.
