Granite Mountain

The Volcanic Tableland offers exceptional bouldering opportunities, because of
its unique geologic features formed by the cataclysmic volcanic eruption of
the Long Valley Caldera 750,000 y.a. which left a highly dissected landscape
of Bishop Tuff. Through time, this once barren tableau has evolved to support
a unique and fragile environment that takes a keen eye and time to appreciate.
The Volcanic Tablelands is situated at the ecological cusp of the Northern
Mojave and Great Basin floristic Provinces where plants and associated
wildlife species combine to make this an unusual and biologically diverse
landscape. It has taken millennia for this environment to evolve and it will
take responsible recreational users to preserve it into perpetuity - so enjoy
and protect this place
