Devil's Post Piles National Monument

  This summer, on our way to baby blessing we did some camping in the Mammoth Lake area and took the day trip to Post Piles National Monument.  The Post Piles are formed by cooling lava which then separates into hexagonal columns.  They cool and then erosions exposes the side.  From the top it would be a floor of hexagons.
