We went to the Mammoth Lakes area just to visit this National Monument. It was a lovely walk, and not difficult. The drive to the monument is really beautiful, but make sure you head out early.

We did the Devil's Postpile and Rainbow falls hike (6ish miles round-trip). We got to the parking lot at 7 and started off on the hike. The scenery is nice and social distancing wasn't a problem.
