An incredible pile of basalt columns, which were created by a lava flow more than 100,000 years ago.

An incredible pile of basalt columns or basltic organs. The columns were created by a lava flow more than 100,000 years ago. Blocked on its way, it reached a thickness of about 120 meters. The very slow cooling of the lava due to this thickness explains the impressive length of the columns. A path allows to reach the summit, from where the view is unforgettable. Closed in winter because of snow.

Belle randonnée
La balade pour voir cet incroyable monument naturel est vraiment agréable à faire le matin et pas très longue. Une navette vous emmènera depuis la station de ski et plusieurs sentiers vous conduiront aux colonnes.

Devils postpile
Les colonnes de basalt du Devils Postpile sont un curiosité originale et intéressante, observable d'en bas et d'en haut. Une navette vous emmène à l'arrêt (prévoyez du temps, en été il y a du monde qui attend). Vous pouvez continuer la randonnée pour aller voir la cascade rainbow falls ou encore croiser le fameux PCT.
