50 miles from Yosemite's Tioga Pass Entrance, Devils Postpile National Monument established in 1911 by presidential proclamation, Devils Postpile
National Monument protects and preserves the Devils Postpile formation,
the 101-foot high Rainbow Falls, and pristine mountain scenery. The
formation is a rare sight in the geologic world and ranks as one of the
world's finest examples of columnar basalt. Its columns tower 60 feet
high and display an unusual symmetry.
To visit, park your car at the Mammoth
Mountain Ski Area and use the mandatory shuttle. The shuttle bus
operates from mid-June through the Wednesday after Labor Day.
