Little Lake Overlook
During the last ice age, glaciers formed in the Sierra Nevada.
Meltwater from the glaciers pooled into large lakes, including
Owens Lake and the Owens River. The river traveled through Indian
Wells Valley, and its course was diverted several times by volcanic
activity.
All the lava flows are basaltic. The Coso volcanic field brought
flows from the north east and later Red Hill released the younger
lava. The flows occurred between 400,000 years ago and 10,000 years
ago
