State Parks, Historic Sites, and Museums need your help.

Throughout the country, important state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, and museums are in trouble. Because of the recent rise in gasoline prices and the general world-wide financial collapse, state parks, historic sites, and museums are in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Most operate on a thin margin and will not weather these hard times without your help.

Places Earth recently encountered closed state parks in Arizona and California is threatening to close all state parks. The story is similar throughout the country.

Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please find a worthy local or distant historic site or museum that is in financial danger and donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep these parks open. It will be your loss.

The tickets and tram loading for Devils Postpile are in Mammoth Lakes in Mono County, the monument is in Madera County. The Red Meadow Shuttle travels a short distance before it crosses the divide and enters Madera County and the west side the the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River flows through Reds Meadow before eventually entering the San Joaquin Valley many miles west. Devils Postpile National Monument is a small 798-acre area of land surrounded by Inyo National Forest. Allow more tha na few minutes to view this natural wonder, as it is surrounded by more. Upper Rainbow Falls is in the monument, but the trail and Lower Rainbow Falls are in Inyo National Forest.

The area is closed in winter, reopening about mid-June and closing about mid-October. Enter from Highway 395 and exit at Highwy 203 through the community of Mammoth Lakes. Get the Reds Meadow Shuttle tickets at Mammoth Mountain. Get your tickets early as they sell out often.
