Trona is a small town steeped in history. Guests and residents can visit the famed Trona Pinnacles National Natural Landmark. This unique landscape consists of more than 500 tufa (calcium carbonate) pinnacles rising from the bed of the Searles Dry Lake basin. These tufa spires, some as high as 140 feet, were formed underwater 10,000 to 100,000 years ago when Searles Lake formed a link in an interconnected chain of Pleistocene lakes stretching from Mono Lake to Death Valley. This small town is located just west of Death Valley National Park. Ridgecrest, the closest major city is southwest on Highway 178. Trona is part of the Riverside-San Bernardino, California metro area.
