Red Cones, Volcano in Inyo National Forest, California, United States

Red Cones is a pair of cinder cones in eastern Madera County, California, within Inyo National Forest near Devils Postpile National Monument. The cones rise to 2,731 metres and sit at the southern end of the Mono-Inyo Craters chain. A basalt flow from the southern cone ran about 1.5 kilometres toward the upper Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River.

The Red Cones erupted about 5,000 years ago, producing both cinder eruptions that built the two cones and a basalt flow from the southern cone. That flow ran roughly 1.5 km toward the upper Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River. The cones sit at the southern end of the Mono-Inyo Craters chain and share its magma source.

The cones sit at the southern end of the Mono-Inyo Craters chain, and their magma shares that chain's origin. The southern cone's basalt flow ran about 1.5 km toward the upper Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River, a feature walkers can trace on the ground.

The cones sit in the eastern Sierra Nevada within Inyo National Forest, near Devils Postpile National Monument, about 10 km southwest of Mammoth Lakes. The southern cone's basalt flow ran roughly 1.5 km toward the upper Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River. The cones rise to about 2,731 m, so snow and weather can block high routes for much of the year.

The Red Cones sit at the southern end of the Mono-Inyo Craters chain, and their magma shares an origin with the other craters in that chain. The southern cone also produced a basalt flow that ran about 1.5 km toward the upper Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River.
