Geological Tour of Poly Canyon
Westward Fork

westward fork

Looking westward at the fork in the road in the Architects area. The line of riparian vegetation marks the eastern margin of a landslide, with the frontal lobe of the landslide marked by the fork in the road. The creek on the west side of this area, seen in site #1 marks the western edge of the slide. The slide complex originates in the big scoop seen in the serpentinite hill in the background, and stopped at the place where the road forks.
