I was tempted to say these were of Columbia River Basalt origin or related to them, but I really didn't know for sure. I used to drive route 31 quite a bit to Sisters (well, once a year and back), then took to going up through K-Falls. I've never been across the valley, have been around Christmas Valley some, and have seen a measured section of Pleistocene-Quaternary lake beds in Summer Lake.<BR/><BR/>Interesting about the old lake deltas - they look quite sandy from the air.Silver Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131032620978696727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693614218792476252.post-53923342885404000672009-03-14T03:40:00.000-07:002009-03-14T03:40:00.000-07:00Wow.

These are some great pictures! The rock in this area is mostly Steens Mountain Basalt, which is quite similar to the Columbia River Basalt in age and composition, but smaller in volume and areal extent, and extruded in a more southerly eruptive area, as the name implies. I've been up and down route 31 more times than I can count, but I've never made it to the other side of that basin. And re the alluvial fans- many of these underwent significant growth during the time of Pleistocene pluvial lakes, and are more deltaic in nature than fan-like! Nice piece, thanks!Lockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960762797349483760noreply@blogger.com
