Devils Postpile Loop

11/10/22

Devils postpile is freakin awesome. The hike isn’t too hard, mostly flat. If you want to get to the top of the postpile you’ll gain some elevation. The top looks like a dinosaur skin. You can take the bus down to red’s meadow or if you have a handicap placard you can drive down. Not sure if all private vehicles are allowed to drive down or not.

Devils Postpile & Rainbow Falls

If you do this once the shuttles are running from Mammoth Mountain, you'll want to park at the Mammoth Mountain Inn and took the Reds Meadow Shuttle Bus to the trailhead closest to Devils Postpile. It was a short and easy hike, about 0.5 miles to the base. While many walked past Devils Postpile after a few photos, we took the short but steep trail to the top. The view is worth the extra few min...

Tubing at Woolly's Tube Park

There probably isn't a more fun way to goof around and play in the snow. And we take it up a notch - skip the hiking, and catch a lift to the top, then bomb down as fast as you dare in one of our high-speed snow tubes. (Children must be 42" to tube.)Highlights include everything you could be looking for: groomed lanes, a dedicated tube lift, heated deck, hot cocoa, snacks, and adult drinks.Park...

Backpack to Garnet Lake

Although this trip specifically describes how to get to Garnet Lake, there are several other pristine alpine lakes (Shadow Lake and Thousand Islands Lake) along this looped trail, only a few short miles away from each other, that are just as worthy if you have the time. A minimum of 3 days/2 nights is reccommended, but you can tackle this trek in a day if you don't have the luxury of time.To pi...
