Devils Postpile National Monument is a United States national monument located near Mammoth Mountain in eastern California. The monument protects Devils Postpile, an unusual rock formation of columnar basalt, "all tightly and perfectly fitted together like a vast mosaic."

The Devil's Postpile is a large cliff made of volcanic basalt columns. It is a very popular site, so there is a good possibility there will be others enjoying the site.

Rainbow Falls is a 101-foot waterfall, which is the largest falls on the San Joaquin River. The falls are located a short distance off the Pacific Crest Trail.

Beware of mosquitos.Move fast!

The Devils Postpile National Monument, which is only open from mid-June to mid-October, was once part of the Yosemite National Park and was only placed under protection as an independent park in 1911. The main attraction of the park is Devils Postpile, an approximately 100 meters wide and 30 meters high cliff of vertical, volcanic basalt columns, which have a very symmetrical, hexagonal shape.

This is an extensive marina and resort with pleasant public picnic areas overlooking the lake. There is also a small village with a grocery store and restaurant.

Most hikers begin just the short hike to the spectacular Rainbow Falls from here. But past that turnoff the trail continues along Fish and Crater Creeks to the idyllic remote Iva Bells hot springs. For overnight hikes into the wilderness a permit is required.

Rainbow and Fish Creek Trails lead through open burn areas, with young growth showcasing forest recovery from the 1992 Rainbow Fire that devastated the area.
