| View of Park Hill from Highway 25 |
What caused Park Hill to stick up above Hollister's valley floor? Have you ever wondered about that?
The Calaveras Fault skirts along the western base of the hill, so maybe it was pushed up by tectonic activity over millions of year. That's one theory of geologists.
Another theory is that Vista Hill somehow escaped being eroded away by whatever it was that wore down the terrain into a valley.
What do you think?
