This monument takes its name from a cliff of cooled lava that formed into striking hexagonal columns some 100,000 years ago. These unusual 60-foot formations are some of the finest examples of columnar basalt in the world. The park's dramatic Rainbow Falls are another natural wonder at the park, where they plunge 101 feet into the San Joaquin River.
