Mammoth

Today we went to Mammoth and went to the top of Mammoth Mountain on the gondola. This mountain is 11,053 feet high and has several mountain bike trails down from the top. From the top you can also see the June lakes. It was quite windy at the top with speeds of up 40mph.



After this we caught the bus down to the Devil’s Postpiles. The postpiles are hexagonal columns made of basalt formed from a volcanic eruption about 100,000 years ago. They are really worth a visit and you can climb to the top of the postpiles and see the hexagon shapes all fitted together like a giant honeycomb.
