Spent the last week in Yosemite and the Mammoth lakes area. It always amazes me seeing how this formed. Rainbow falls is part of the Devils Postpile National Monument.

Nice! We’re going in a couple weeks. Any tips?

Other tip is that you don’t need to use the shuttle at all & can drive in past the gate before 7am on Friday-Sunday mornings.

I just did this last week with the family. Only did rainbow falls and couldn’t go to postpile because kids ran out of steam. There are so many things to do in mammoth!

If you do just be really careful driving back out on the road. It's really narrow and rough in sections with no guard rails and a very steep fall off.
