We had a great experience hiking to Devil's Postpile! It wasn't very far from stop #6 on the tram/bus that takes you into Reds Meadow from the Main Lodge up the hill (about 3 miles) from the Village. The cost was $15 for each person over 15 and was well worth the round trip. We got our tickets online a day or so ahead, but you can also purchase them at the Adventure Center (where you get on the tram). The road is very narrow and windy. There is only really room for one vehicle at a time, so cars or the tram has to continually pull over as they both pass each other. We actually hiked up to Minaret Falls from this trail as well. It was well worth it and was about a mile each way (up and back). After Devil's Postpile, we continued up the hill on the Rainbow Falls trail. That was longer, but so worth it as well. Go down the stairs to see the Lower Falls if you can! Then we hiked back up and caught the tram to head back to the Village at stop #10 ,where there is a little store to get a cold drink or maybe an ice cream treat! Get going early for this hike! We got up there at about 9:15 and we were really glad we did. It gets more crowded and hotter as the day gets later.

An amazing geological formation is well worth the hike. If you can make it to the top, some amazing views of the Postpile and the surrounding forest. Rainbow Falls is just down the road and both treks make for an enjoyable day.

Now closed for the season, but visited last week.Disappointed in our visit. Used our Nat Park pass, and was given no maps or info at entry, and no friendly greeting, which seemed odd. Drove down this crazy long steep winding road, only to be greeted with a "parking lot full" sign, where you park to see the "Devils Pile". Sign said to park further down and walk. Further down, was WAY further down. We drove all that way, and there was no way there wasn't parking. There were no staff there to know, and obviously people have come and gone, so we drove around the cones and sign, drove to the parking lot and parked. What poor management!!! Most National Parks we go to are run well and have fantastic staff, this one needs improvement.

Something difference for sure it truly looks like someone built it. The one side seems to be collapsing. Short hike in most people can do it. The road going down is one lane with two way traffic for about 4 miles

This is a unique rock formation. I’ve never seen it before. It’s a drive to the station and a good vea;k to,the monument. If you are intrepid, it’s a fairly steep climb to the top to,see the top of the crystalline mosaic. Wearing hiking boots or shoes. Recommended.

Short 0.3 mile hike from the parking lot. If you arrive before 0700 you aren’t required to shuttle to the parking lot- it’s worth waking up early to do so and not have to depend on the shuttle. Cool site to see! From there you can hike another 2.2 miles to rainbow falls! We also advise doing this in the morning to avoid the direct sunlight as there’s limited shade and avoid the heat too.

You have to pay for a shuttle ride to get here unless you drive before 7am or after 6pm. We ended up driving after 6pm to get here so we wouldn't have to pay. It's a pretty long windy road to drive down to get there. Also, there are a TON of mosquitos at the time we went. They were everywhere. It made the stop a lot less enjoyable. It was basically jog to the postpiles, take the pics, and jog back. The hike is pretty short though to get there.
We've been to Devil's Tower in Wyoming. I liked that a lot better than here.

Depending upon the time of year that you visit the Postpile you may or may not drive to the parking lot. Our first visit was in October of 2021 and we drove the very winding, switch back filled road down the valley to the parking lot. Our recent visit to Mammoth Mountain in July 2022 was high season for the area and a tram ride down to the parking lot was mandatory, unless, I believe you get up VERY early to make the drive. Tickets can be purchased at the gondola area at Mammoth Mountain Adventure Center. The cost is $15 for adults and $7 for kids. The tram looks like an easy experience. If the cost of the tram doesn't deter you, you will be treated to a small geologic wonder. At the parking lot you will hike an easy, short trail back to the Pile and view the result of basaltic magma that has cooled slowly below the surface the earth giving it time to form the classic hexagonal columns known around the planet. Walk around the base of the pile and make sure you take the relatively easy, short hike to the top of the formation to view the cross section of the pillars and take note of the hexagonal (some are five side and some are seven sided as well I believe) patterns. Also be sure to look for the parallel lines that gouge some of the faces on top. These scrapings are the result of the glacier which passed over top of the formations and exposed it for us to see and enjoy. This is a kid friendly hike and could easily be complete with an infant on your back in a carrier as well.

Heard that the trail to Devil’s Postpile was closed because of snow, but the trail from the ranger station is open now? Thanks for any advice you can offer!

I understand in the Summer you may bring your vehicle into the Monument if you arrive before 7AM and that there is a parking lot near the postpile.
Is there also a parking area near the Rainbow Falls trailhead?

I have the same exact question that a another traveler posted a year ago.
NPS website says the road is closed but all trails are open. We are visiting this weekend (May 8th). I understand we can not drive in but can we simply hike to DPP and Rainbow Falls?

My dad is 90 and uses a cane for walking. He can not tolerate a long walk. I read the walk to devil post pile is pretty level. About how long of a walk is this?

Hi, there. If you start early in the morning from the parking lot, the trail is pretty even. There is only one slight incline. However, please keep hydrated and the little pebbles on the trail can be slippery. The place is remote and, if anything happened, an air rescue is the only way out. There is a small hospital in Mammoth Lakes. The Devil's Post Pile, in my opinion, is not worth the long drive. Rainbow Falls is great, but I don't recommend it for elderly people or even dogs. The trail is so hot with little shade. Dogs get so overheated and their paws might burn. If you choose to go to Rainbow Falls, allow yourself two or three extra hours and again an early morning start is best.

I am doing a 3 day backpacking trip in late September, leaving from Devils Post Pile. Can I leave my car at the trail head for this time?

There are two ways to park your vehicle. You can park near the Main Lodge at Mammoth Mountain (along the side of the road) and take the shuttle to Devils Postpile. Last year the fare was $7 round trip. Check the times but I think the shuttle runs from 0730 to 1730. You will need to retain your ticket for the return trip.
The alternative is to get an early start. You can drive down to Devils Postpile as long as you enter the area before 0700. The park service is very strict on this so be sure to leave early. You can drive down and park near the Ranger Station. There is no restriction on leaving. One word of caution, the road is quite narrow and has been damaged by the snow accumulation. There will be areas where it is under construction and when you return be quite defensive in your driving. I usually follow a bus up. Hope this helps.

How difficult is the hike from the bottom of Devils Postpile to the top?

The post pile trails is an easy trail. From the shuttle road it is a relatively flat and easy trail to the postpile. There is an easy although uphill, rather steep, trail to top of postpile. Takes only a few minutes and no climbing gear. So I call it easy but a little steep at end to the top. Lots of fun trails in mammoth

Dear all,
Can we drive to Devils Postpile parking lot and hike to the monument and Rainbow Fall?
Do we have to take their bus?
Thank you for your reply.

During the summer you need to take the bus; however, two ways around the bus situation is if you have a camping or a horseback riding reservation..
Im confused on how long the hike is to devils postpile and to the falls. I've read different posts and the mileage ranges from 2 to 10 miles. Why such conflicting info?

Not sure, I would suggest checking out the Devils Postpile National Park website. They have all the pertinent info for the shuttle including cost, times, etc. Have fun and enjoy!
