Cave Rock, Lake Tahoe, on the Nevada side. The car trails are the result of stacking long exposures before and after dark.
The Black Rock Desert is a dry lake bed left over from the last ice age. This is the bottom of ancient Lake Lahontan, which was at its peak about 12,700 years ago and had this land about 500' below the surface of the lake. Today, this is a huge flat expanse of the dry lake or playa.
