Chalk Cliffs

Located on the California side of the lake across from Site Six are the Chalk Cliffs, large gray/white formations comprised of Kaolinite, a soft rock produced by dormant hot springs which once percolated through cracks in the mountains. When wet, the white clay has the consistency and feel equivalent of a mud mask!
The Chalk Cliffs are most impressive early in the morning and in late afternoons, as low sunlight illuminates the massive rock face in stark contrast to the surrounding topography.
