Just twenty miles east of Ridgecrest, the Trona Pinnacles provide an
"other-worldy" effect for photographers and other visitors.
The Trona Pinnacles comprise North America's most spectacular display
of tufa towers. Over 500 towers of stone, some climbing 150 feet into
the sky, create the illusion of outer space. Movie fans will recognize
the Pinnacles from "Star Trek V".

Cannell Meadow, in Kernville is a prime spot to ride your mountain
bike this spring and summer. The ride starts at the top of the summit
where you can view the beauty of Mt. Whitney and other major mountaintops.
The length of this trail is approximately 25-30 miles. You will descend
almost 5000 feet from start to finish; yet you will still climb at least
1000 feet on this ride. If you dare take on such a ride, this is an
amazing trail.
