Standing columns of basalt rock created by the cooling of a lava flow are the main attractions of Devils Postpile National Monument near Mammoth Mountain in Madera County, California, USA. Considered a rare geologic sight, some of the 60-feet-tall multisided columns have crumbled into pieces during the 100,000 years of their existence.
