One of the most impressive features within California is a geologic oddity known as the Devils Postpile. This structure contains a group of towering near perfect hexagonal columns. These columns have a volcanic origin, and originated less than 100,000 years ago. This video will discuss how Devils Postpile within Devils Postpile National Monument formed, and mention some nearby related geologic features such as the Long Valley Supervolcano.
