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.

A long bricked up doorway showing one way the church has evolved over the centuries.
Being in the north wall, this may well be a Devil's Door. Traditionally they were left open during baptisms to allow any evil spirits present in the child to escape. They were often bricked up following The Reformation.

What's that in your hair, Dennis? Eeew.
Has anyone noticed how the scottish Dennis The Menace looks like a certain PM in London?
The steep 88 step staircase took 600 convicts 16 years to dig. It was intended to provide an exit in the event Nassau was attacked. The Harbor is just beyond the sight of the camera. When an unidentified member of the British royal family saw it at the dedication, he remarked the area was superbly defendable until that walkway was installed!
