Devils Postpile National Monument....

One pile is exposed
....California, these hills are about 60 feet high,
stacks of pencils on end aim at the sky,
columnar basalt in an unusual formation,
one of a kind in this great nation.

Conditions must have been just right,
with moisture, ice and abundant light,
to form these oddities up here in the hills,
where they peel off, just look at the spills.
What a pile looks like on top

Rainbow falls, a 100 foot drop
