The Enigmatic Water Wheel Creek
Where is it? Which way does it flow? You won't find the answer on any map!
Geologic Analysis Of The Monte Bello Ridge Mountain Study Area paper:

From that paper:
"TECTONIC BLOCKS - Large angular to rounded, commonly elliptically shaped masses of relatively hard rocks surrounded by a clay-rich, sheared matrix. Occurs within shear zones and fault gouge. In the shear zones of the Franciscan rocks, these blocks range from "fist size" to masses more than one mile long."

Section of single track Canyon Trail built in 1990:

Future plan: I want to try to hike along the top of the ridge between the Canyon Trail and Stevens Creek between the Table Mtn. and Grizzly Flat trails. I'm hoping there might be some exposed sedimentary rock outcrops up there that might show if this block has been tilted in the past.
More to come...
