Mammoth Peak over Tuolumne Meadows, Tioga Pass, Yosemite National Park. Image ID: 28514 Location: Yosemite National Park, California, USA	Greenstone Lake and Saddlebag Lake in the 20 Lakes Basin, Hoover Wilderness. Image ID: 36428 Location: 20 Lakes Basin, Hoover Wilderness, California, USA	Glacial erratic boulders atop Olmsted Point, with the massive granite monoliths Half Dome and Clouds Rest in the background. Erratics are huge boulders left behind by the passing of glaciers which carved the granite surroundings into their present-day form. When the glaciers melt, any boulders and other geologic material that it was carrying are left in place, sometimes many miles from their original location.

		$Devil's Postpile, a spectacular example of columnar basalt. Once molten and under great pressure underground, the lava that makes up Devil's Postpile cooled evenly and slowly, contracting and fracturing into polygonal-sided columns. The age of the formation is estimated between 100 and 700 thousand years old. Sometime after the basalt columns formed, a glacier passed over the formation, cutting and polishing the tops of the columns. The columns have from three to seven sides, varying because of differences in how quickly portions of the lava cooled, Devils Postpile National Monument, California$
