The devil’s geology
On recent trip, I was looking up a place I wanted to hike (the devil’s ladder), and noticed that there are a large number of places and geological sites that are named “The Devil’s whatever”, like devil’s tower, devil’s postpile… I thought it would be interesting to try and see how many of these sites I could visit. So I hit 4 in just this first trip.
First, “The devil’s ladder”:
This is at the top of Carson Pass, it got its name from settlers who had to winch their wagons up over the top.
Next, in a nearby valley above Upper Blue lake, “The Devil’s Corral”:
It’s a box canyon that opens to the left in this pic, sorry it so crappy.
Then we went through “The Devil’s Gate” on Monument pass:
And lastly, above Yosemite Village is “The Devil’s Dancefloor”:
Anyone know of some other spots with devil or diablo in the name? Post suggestions in the comments.
