Mammoth, Day 2

While Steve joined Anna's group for a run, Sam and I had a leisurely Starbucks breakfast, in the new downtown area of Mammoth Lakes just across the way from our hotel. Steve then joined us for a hike to Devil's Postpile. This rock formation is over 100 feet high and is an example of "columnar basalt", a rare geological sight to see these hexagonal and pentagonal shapes formed naturally. Fascinating! Afterwards we made it to Rainbow Falls, and Steve and Sam decided to trek atop the rocks surrounded by cold waters to get a closer look. Happy hour dinner and a photo of a rainbow oil slick after the rains ended our fun-filled day.
