These are the remnants of spatter cones, early volcanic features that filled the Hat Creek area with lava thousands of years ago. We found a lava tube with two cute little bats sleeping in it but we didn't take pictures because we didn't want to wake them up.

I saw a photo taken at almost the identical spot to one I took overlooking an expanse of manzanita, clear to Lassen =)
