Summit (1/7)

This is the highest point in the NBR that can be reached by car. My wife and son are looking out over Mission Valley. It isn’t hard to see how large this valley is, though this is only part of it and there is also another large valley on the other side of the NBR, in the direction opposite of where I took this picture. 

Perhaps the most astonishing thing is that the entire valley was once the bottom of a gigantic lake and where we are standing would have been the top of an island in that lake.
