The Devils Marbles is a large field of boulders in the central Australian desert of the Northern Territory. There is an overnight camping area and it is wonderful to experience sunset and sunrise amongst the huge stones. The site is known as Karlu Karlu to the land's Aboriginal traditional owners.
The Devils Postpile is a dark cliff of columnar basalt near Mammoth Mountain in eastern California. The postpile was created by a lava flow sometime with the last 100,000 and 700,000 years. The source of the lava is thought to have been somewhere near Upper Soda Springs campground at the north end of Pumice Flat on the floor of the Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River, from where it flowed to the site of the Postpile, was impounded by a moraine, and reached a thickness of 400 to 600 feet. The lava that now makes up the Postpile was near the bottom of this mass.
Because of its great thickness, much of the mass of pooled lava cooled slowly and evenly, which is why the columns are so long and so symmetrical. Columnar jointing occurs when certain types of lava cool - the joints develop when the lava contracts during the cooling process.
In 1911, President Howard Taft made the area into a United States National Monument. The John Muir Trail and Pacific Crest Trail pass through the monument.
The columns average 2 ft in diameter (the largest being 3.5 ft) and many are up to 60 ft long. Together they look like tall posts stacked in a pile, hence the feature's name. Compared with other examples of columnar jointing, the Postpile has more hexagonal columns than most.

Devil Canyon is located in Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. This is a lesser-known but most stunning sights. This picture was taken at the Devil Canyon Overlook where Devil Canyon joins Bighorn Canyon. From the overlook, the earth suddenly drops more than 1,000 feet (305m) but it is difficult to get a sense of the size in a picture (I wished there had been a few boats on the river but there were none on that day).
Evee is the devil of wrath
Lil' Maddy as mad as he can be,
he picks a fight whenever he goes,
angels and devils alike he fought,
alas one day he bumps into Charlie
and has an eye-patch ever since.
