I chose to create a DEM model of Mt. Wilson and Cloverleaf Canyon because it is one of the most visually striking physical features in Southern California. I thought it would make a good candidate for the digital elevation model. The high peaks of the mountain range and the low valleys of the canyon create a stark contrast in elevation which really showed up nicely in the models. In the 3-d model the high peaks are clearly visible (in white) and the lower canyon is green. Mt. Wilson is a part of the San Gabriel Mountains in the Los Angeles region and a part of the Angeles National Forest. It's highest peak is 5, 712 feet.
