Devil's Punchbowl
Devil's Punchbowl is located in the southern Antelope Valley about a hour's drive from Glendale. It's a geologic feature formed the the intersection of two faults, the San Andreas fault and the Punchbowl fault. The convergence of these two faults has caused the rock to buckle up though the surface much like Vasquez Rocks but on a much larger scale. These photos are from only a small portion of Devil's Punchbowl by the visitor's center on the western edge of the nature area. We hiked down from the visitor's center to just above the creek that flows though the canyon just east of the visitor's center.

Pano shot of the western portion of the punchbowl.
As we climb out of the canyon we have a magnificent view of the western portion of the punchbowl. The rest of the punchbowl is east of the ridge you can see at the center.
