One of the readers from last week mentioned Ribbon Falls in Yosemite, which only flows during the spring floods. But it's also a very pretty and very high falls, so here's a bonus picture:

Just how BIG is this formation?

"The locals call it Dâures—the burning mountain. Its volcanism has long since stilled, but the granite core left behind apparently glows red in the light of the setting sun. The formation is a remnant of a long period of tumultuous volcanic and geologic activity on Earth during which the southern super-continent of Gondwana was splitting apart."

If it's the core of what once was a volcano, just how BIG was this volcano?

I sure wouldn't want to get lost there.

I'd consider myself lost if I was anywhere near it.
