Glass Mountain, on the Inyo National Forest, is one of the tallest peaks in Mono County, California. It consists of a sequence of lava domes, flows, and welded pyroclastic flows of rhyolite composition that were erupted between 2.1 and 0.8 million years ago.[3] Obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass, can be found on the mountain.[4]
