I just googled Owens Gorge--wow! I've been to Mammoth many times, but never knew about that spot, so will need to check it out sometime.
Wow, Andrew and Candice, thanks for pointing out the Owens Gorge columns. This link has some stunning images of the formations. I had no idea these were there and have not heard of the Owens Gorge near Bishop. One reason I love this forum is how much I learn from all of you.
