The tree has been undercut by a stream, leaving a hollowed out area (cave) beneath the dangling roots. The tree is still hanging on only by its branches. In the foreground is the pebbly beach and some driftwood logs.

Erosion has plagued the site for decades, but has increased rapidly in recent weeks.

CHIRIACO SUMMIT, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 26: In an aerial view, multicolored layers of earth are distorted by the movement of tectonic plates along the San Andreas Fault in Painted Canyon in the proposed Chuckwalla Mountains National Monument on April 26, 2024 near Chiriaco Summit, California. About one thousand square miles of desert are to be protected by the proposed 627,855-acre Chuckwalla Mountains National Monument plus a 17,000-acre expansion of the nearby, increasingly crowded, Joshua Tree National Park. The proposal is unique in that it gives Indigenous tribes the power to co-manage Chuckwalla Mountains National Monument alongside the federal Bureau of Land Management. The boundaries consist include huge pristine desert wilderness areas, hundreds of miles of Jeep trails, and is home to endangered and threatened animals such as desert tortoises and desert bighorn sheep. Sacred indigenous lands and ancient rock art as old as10,000 years would have increased protections. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
