do you know what the pink colored rock is?
i found this band going into ionian basin high above lake 10220 where the rocks were beginning to turn volcanic.

here are a few more detailed shots:

Wow that is really interesting! It could be pink granite and the only other pink rock i came across is called syenite. I'm not an expert in geology by any means but I just found those pictures interesting and researched a little.

Lost Coyote, Was this taken at the lake between Martha Lake and the SW shoulder of Mt. Goddard? Or was it taken above the large lake 10,232 south of Mt. Reinstein? The western section of Ionian Basin is all metavolcanic metmamorphic rock, and these photos look like some of it. Not sure what kind of rock it is, since I'm not a geologist, but it looks like some of the rock in The Goddard Pendant, which can be red, green, white, black, gray, and rust colored.

Here's a shot I took of an interesting rock wall with a quartz intrusion. I also found some samples of marble in this location at lake 12,200. The other shots are of the metavolcanic rock between Martha lake and Ionian Basin.

This is what happens when you leave your camera at camp when friends are around.

I found another pic from our Lyle Fork of the Merced trip that almost nobody thought anything of. If you saw the area to the right like I did you might conclude as I that the broken tree (and those in the background) were an old avalanche result.

Now, if you add cow bones to that pic, like I saw in the upper drainage of the Mokolunme we could talk..

Cows never get close to here (thank god).
