Honestly I had never heard of Trona, CA before I moved to Ridgecrest, let alone the 'Trona Pinnacles'.  These are just a few pictures I got after leaving the Gem-O-Rama in October, from a distance.  We will be going here again soon, maybe even this weekend so I can get some closer up pictures!
The Pinnacles are a unique geological sight to see and they have been featured in movies, commercials and still photos (obviously) 
These were shot on our Canon camera. To get here it takes about 20 miles from Ridgecrest and the road can be closed in the winter if there has been a heavy rain.
