What people say

Bobbie Byrne
"Rainbow Falls and Lower Falls trail offers a scenic journey through lush forests alongside the San Joaquin River. The hike begins at the Devil's Postpile trailhead, making it convenient to visit the unique basalt columns of Devil's Postpile National Monument first. Continuing along the trail, you'll encounter Lower Falls first, a serene and less crowded spot ideal for a refreshing dip. Further along, you'll reach the magnificent Rainbow Falls, where the mist creates beautiful rainbows in the sunlight, providing an unforgettable sight. This hike combines stunning natural formations with tranquil forest scenery, making it a must-visit."
