Cool things that happened after mile 900 1) We saw a giant pile of twisty rocks called Devils Postpile 😈 2) Saw beautiful views including waterfalls 💦 3) Drank naturally carbonated spring water (flavored with electrolytes, it was like free strawberry soda) 🥤 4) Swam every day 🏊‍♀️ Bad things included 1) Mosquitoes 🦟 2) Not good pickings from hiker boxes (giant shredded wheat is only edible for @daynajunebug) 🌾 3) Tent Zipper broke (see last pic) ⛺️ #pacificcresttrail #pct2021 #pctclassof2021 #pct #devilspostpile #thruhike #hikertrash #tuellertrails https://www.instagram.com/p/CRdSJmrBwVTlcR3GHTNLGd65UnFJXI1oBgxO8I0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Eastern Sierras Day 2: Devils Postpile National Monument. Hiked all over the Inyo National Forest and Ansel Adams Wilderness starting at the Rainbow Falls Trailhead inside the Monument heading first to Rainbow Falls and Lower Falls, then over the Mammoth Pass via the PCT/JMT to McLeod and Horseshoe Lakes, back towards Red Meadow and Sotcher Lake, and finally following the Middle Fork San Joaquin River back to the trailhead. A solid twenty-mile day. The weekend flew by! #devilspostpile #rainbowfalls #lowerfalls #mcleodlake #sotcherlake #easternsierras #pct #jmt #mammothpass #summerbloom #wildflowers #hiking #hikinglife #hikingadventures #thegreatoutdoors #optoutside #nature #naturelover #naturephotography #landscape #landscapephotography #goodday #goodweekend #goodhike #findyourhike #findyourpark (at Devils Postpile National Monument) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ8j4jMABll/?utm_medium=tumblr

One of the coolest hikes I’ve done recently (besides the Narrows) was to Rainbow Falls in Devils Postpile National Monument. This 6 mile hike takes you past Devils Postpile, a formation of basalt, through some fields and forested areas to the 101 foot Rainbow Falls. It’s called Rainbow Falls because at certain points during the day you can see a rainbow in the falls. We were there too early in the day for this but it was still worth it to see the views. What is the best hike you’ve ever done? . . #devilspostpile #mammothlakes #mammothlakesca #devilspostpilenationalmonument #westcoastcure #nationalmonument #nationalparksystem #socalblogger #labloggerbabes #easternsierras #darlingplaces #athomeintheworld #prettylittletrips #speechlessplaces #wheretofindme #postcardplaces #wanderingtourist #traveltribe #globe_travel #travelingteacher #latinaswhotravel #girlstoptravel #girlspowertravel #shewhowanders #girlsabroad #thedreamytravels #girlpowertravel #damestravel #girlsvsglobe #gltlove (at Rainbow Falls, Mammoth Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDPCp2mAz6G/?igshid=12s8bgv1zwgc9

here are a few views from atop the postpile (those columns are essentially elongated hexagons😱) and from the base of the postpile. #geologyrocks #devilspostpile (at Devil's Postpile) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpCqUvSBrUV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q9l8cqyq57ne

Now that finals are over (phew), here are some pictures of me with cool rocks or if you wanna be fancy: lava that cooled slowly and evenly creating a cliff of columnar basalt. #devilspostpile #rocks #geology (at Devils Postpile National Monument)
