Tom During different times of the year, Yosemite National presents a different side of itself to its visitors. Although we’ve visited Yosemite National Park during Winter, the autumn views were fantastic as well! This time, we also did a side trip to Devil’s Postpile. Interested to find out what that is? More in this post!

The most iconic of views at Yosemite has got to be the Tunnel View. This time, we got to really sit down and take in the sights. The 2bearbear also got to be featured at different angles as well 😉 While driving the loop at Yosemite, you’ll also come across different views of the famous half dome…

While exiting Yosemite National Park (enroute to Mammoth Lake), we chanced upon the beautiful autumn foliage and a view of Tenaya Lake…
After spending a relaxing night (soaking in the hot tub under the stars) at Sierra Nevada Resort and Spa, we headed to the Devil’s Postpile National Monument to see rainbow falls as well as the Devil’s Postpile!
Devil’s Postpile National Monument and Rainbow Falls

Devil’s postpile was formed by a lava flow that was slowly allowed to cool overtime. Thereafter, striations were caused by glaciers that excavated the structure as evident by glacier polish at the top of Devil’s postpile that we see today.

The hike to Rainbow Falls took approximately 20 minutes and along the way, we were able to see vast number of burnt trees, likely to have been left behind by the last forest fire.
To see the rainbow at the falls, you’ll have to arrive after noon so that light from the mid day sun can cast upon the flowing waters at Rainbow Falls. However, due to time constraints, we were only able to see the falls itself and not the rainbow. If you were able to see the rainbows at Rainbow Falls, tell us more in the comments section below!
