The vast Carrizo Plain National Monument contains a valley lying within the bosom of the Coast Range mountains. The grasslands of this remote place look much the way the Great Central Valley did before the arrival of the Spaniards, the Gold Rush, and urban sprawl. Wildlife and wildflowers abound. And the San Andreas fault, the vast earthquake zone that runs from the city of San Francisco to the Gulf of Mexico, is found here, too.

Iron Bones!

Carrizo Plain, where time stands still. Old farm equipment rusts away, sitting like ancient bones in this remote National Monument.

Across the Carrizo Plain

An old road leads to an abandoned homestead - the low line of hills in the far distance are part of the San Andreas fault zone that runs through the northern side of the Carrizo Plain.

A diamondback rattler slithers across Soda Lake Road, in Carrizo National Monument. On the afternoon I made this photograph, all of three cars went by in 30 minutes, as a friend and I waited for the snake to safely cross the road.

Ranch, wildflowers

This ranchhouse is on the west end of the Carrizo Plain, just outside the confines of the National Monument.
