the striking geological formations known as The Pinnacles, located in Crater Lake National Park in Oregon, showing several tall, slender spires of compressed pumice and ash rising from the canyon floor, surrounded by a lush forest of pine trees and dry, grassy slopes. the spires, also called fossil fumaroles, were created when hot gases escaped through vents during the ancient eruption of Mount Mazama, hardening the surrounding material. over thousands of years, the softer canyon walls eroded away, leaving the more resistant, towering pinnacles exposed, some reaching up to 100 feet in height.
