Packing up and heading home today, but first I drive down the canyon and visit Devils Postpile National Monument.  The postpiles are hexagon shaped columns of basalt that have pushed up from beneath the ground; from the top, they look like patio pavers.  They are pretty cool to look at.  Going to the end of the road, there is Sotcher Lake and Red’s Meadow to also check out; Red’s was closed though.  Now it’s time to head home.  North and over Monitor Pass again, however this time I was able to enjoy the glowing aspens on Monitor Pass.  That is until a heavy rainstorm broke out at almost the same spot the storm broke on my way up here!  Ahh well, the days between storms were gorgeous.  :-)
