While in Lone Pine we drove to Mammoth to see the Devil’s Postpile.  I’m sure everyone has seen pictures of this strange but natural occurrence of lava that cooled and then fractured into vertical columns and now are exposed to view.

The area wasn’t as big as we thought it would be but was very awe-inspiring.  On the way back to the parking area we stopped to see a small falls area from a bridge and were surprised to see more columns, this time not quite vertical but still very strange.  There’s one picture of this formation below as well as the actual Devil’s Postpile:
