Trona Sunrise Horses The villages have been there

The villages have been there since around the 12th century

Tamara catches a single-file expedition crossing under one of those walls

the mountains stepping back into pine and ridge behind

the largest continuous sand desert on earth

Trona Sunrise Horses The villages have been thereThe Trona Pinnacles are an odd field of over 500 tufa towers in the Mojave Desert, off the highway between Ridgecrest and Death Valley. Tufa forms underwater at the seam between freshwater springs and the alkaline water of a desert lake calcium carbonate precipitates out of solution and builds these vertical structures. The lake that made them dried up about 10,000 years ago. Arthur shoots them at first light, the moon still up.
