The geologic wonder of Devils Postpile National Monument is found in the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains and features hexagonal basalt columns that are of remarkable symmetry. At one point the site was part of Yosemite National Park but the discovery of gold led to a boundary change and the Postpile was nearly demolished with plans to build a hydroelectric dam. John Muir and other early advocates of wild spaces in California sought protection for the site and in 1911 President William Howard Taft protected the area as a National Monument.

Travel back in time to Bodie, California! Bodie is an old mining town frozen in time. Bodie became a State Historic Park in 1962 and has stayed virtually the same since. The buildings will not be restored but preserved the way they were found. In 1859 William S. Bodey discovered gold near what is now Bodie Bluff. In 1861 a mill was established and Bodie started to grow. Bodie started with about 20 miners but by 1880 it's estimated to have grown to 10000 people! People from all over the world came to Bodie, families, robbers, miners, store owners, gunfighters, and prostitutes. Bodie was a mixture of money, gold, and alcohol. After 2 major fires, Bodie was left how it is today.
