We loved our hike up to Rainbow Falls! We took the tram to Reds Meadow from up at the Main Lodge Adventure Center for $15 each. It was well worth it to not have to worry about getting there before 7:00am (or after 6:00pm). Also, the road is very narrow and windy and it's just better to pay for the nice round trip. We bought our tickets online a day or so before,but you can get them at the window of the Adventure Center before getting on. I just wanted to make sure they didn't sell out. We got up there at about 9:15 which I think is a good idea to start early if you can! We stopped at #6 to hike to Devil's Postpile first (actually Minaret Falls as well - one mile each way up and back). To do all of these was a great day! The views at Rainbow Falls are amazing. Go down the stairs to the Lower Falls to see them up close and feel the mist!

This hike is only moderately difficult, and for me that was mostly due to the altitude difference in where I live. The reward when reaching the falls is well worth it.

Scenic water fall at the end of a hike that is well worth the effort. Easy to combine Rainbow Falls with the Devils Postpile all in one afternoon. Worth a visit, but be prepared to walk a bit over a forest path to get there. Easy hike - but not a sidewalk!

We (4 seniors) hiked to Devil's Postpone. It wasn't too difficult. We are not seasoned hikers. Then we went on to Rainbow Falls. It was a hot day and a longer hike than we were prepared for. The Falls were amazing, but we were totally exhausted.

Took the shuttle ($15/person) to stop 6 where we got off and did this 4+ mile hike via Devils Postpile. It was hot with little shade, but the falls were well worth it.

Rainbow falls is worth the walk/hike. It lives up to its name of reflecting rainbows. Wear bug spray because there are mosquitos.

Beautiful waterfall. You can see other folks reviews on the hike. I'm going to give the logistics we used to get there.
We were only in town for a long weekend, no car
From our condo (Snowcreek), we took the Town Trolley into "the Village". The trolley is red and green and looks like a trolley (smaller than the bus, lots of windows). The Trolley was free.
From the Village, we changed to the bus that takes bikes up to the top of the mountain. (painted white, larger than the Trolley, had a bike trailer that would hold 15 or so bikes on the back). Might read "Bike Park" on the front in the lights. The 'bike park' bus was free
All of the stops were near-ish to Toomey's restaurant.
Okay, after taking the white, 'bike park', bus to the Mammoth Mountainside, we were dropped off in front of a statute of a woolly mammoth. From there, we walked to the Adventure Center and purchased for $15 a ticket on the Red Meadow shuttle.
My travel companion was told the shuttle would be painted red. It was not. It was white. It looked like the bus for the Bike Park, but without the bike trailer on it. It picked us up at the same woolly mammoth statue drop off point. It had Red Meadows in the light above the windshield. Note that we took the shuttle several hours after we purchased the tickets
The driver gave us advice, and we got off at stop #9.
We were told it was a 45 minute walk to the falls and 1 hour back (slight incline).
We made it in 1:30, including a brief stop at the falls, because we were rushed. I had to rush my travel companion. I would suggest allowing for more time, but we made other choices before the hike so we were time crunched.
The hike to the falls (we skipped Devil's postpile) is an out and back. You catch the bus very close to where it dropped off, but you do need to climb a few steps across the street, and catch the bus at the campground.
There is a bathroom close to the trailhead.
We were warned that if we missed the last bus (which was the one we were taking), we would have to either spend the night somewhere at the campgrounds or try to walk several miles to the ranger station to get cell phone coverage to call a taxi. So we rushed to be sure we didn't miss the last bus.

It sure was beautiful, and the hike from the parking lot was nice too. Arrive early to beat the crowds. The road down from the ranger shack was quite intimidating with some steep drop offs in some spots, still these falls are a must see.

Take the shuttle to the Rainbow Falls stop AFTER Devil's Post Pile. It's less crowded and downhill and only 20 min hike to the falls. Start early before 9 am to beat the crowds. Signs are confusing. The falls are gorgeous. The crowds are the only problem. I didn't go down the steps because kids were throwing rocks. You are going to be sore after this hike. It takes about 3-4 hours. I also hiked the lower falls. There are bees due to the wildflowers. This hike is hard for kids under 5. It's too long for little kids. Poor dogs, they were overheated. There should be a ranger at the falls. People are so stupid.

What is the water flow like in July and August? Is there a lot of water still in August, or does it trickle down?

Rainbow Falls has good flow year around. It's fed by the San Joaquin River. There's another waterfall in Reds Meadow called Mineret Falls that runs low on water after the snow melts.

How accessible are the falls for people with disabilities?? Any way they can be seen from the road??

The falls are a hike in from transportation and not visible from any road. There isn't a lot of altitude gain, but you're at around 8,000 feet there and the trail has some rocks and roots.

Which trail is better as far as scenery... 1) from Devil's Postpile or 2) Rainbow Falls Trailhead?

Start from the visitors center( you are taking the bus anyway to get there) you will pass the Devil’s post pile then to the rainbow falls, beautiful scenery.

How far a walk is it from Rainbow Falls to lower Rainbow Falls? Thank you!

I agree - 15 minute walk if you are in decent shape. Don't come wearing sandals like I have seen many people try to do.
Are dogs allowed on the trail to Rainbow Falls?

El próximo agosto queremos hacer la ruta de San Francisco a Las Vegas pasando por Yosemite y por Mammoth, quisiera saber si esta atracción queda muy lejos del aparacamiento, vamos, si hay que caminar mucho y el nivel de dificultad. Gracias, ah, por cierto ¿ que tal son las carreteras por allí ?
Gracias y saludos.

Congratulations on your upcoming trip. Rainbow Falls is only accessible by a bus from Mammoth Ski Resort. The bus drops you off about a half mile from Devil's Postpile. Be sure to hike to the top of the Postpile to see the polished granite otagons that create it. From that point, it is three miles of hiking to Rainbow Falls. The hike is not strenuous, but it is remote so bring plenty of water in August and wear hats and sunscreen. After reaching Rainbow Falls, you can hike back to Devil's Postpile or hike about 2 miles slightly uphill to Red's Meadow where there is a small store with cold drinks and snacks. From there you can take the bus back to the Mammoth Ski Resort. If you are able, I would not miss this hike. The falls are spectacular and the Sierras are so serene. I would hike out of the falls by way of Red's Meadow. Once you reach the falls, take the long flight of stairs down to the bottom of the falls. It is magnificent and people often swim in the icy cold (even in August) waters under the falls. Enjoy!

Is this an easy hike for me being 6 months pregnant and my two year old? I’m in ok shape, but get a little winded. Is it possible to hike there and take the shuttle back?
bklyn56
Westford, ماساتشوستس557 مساهمة
No. I would NOT recommend this hike to you even if you are in good shape. It is at elevation and even the hike back to the shuttle requires uphill hiking of approximately 1.5 miles.
You can always take the hike once your little one arrives.

National Park website hasn't been updated since January and states the Rainbow Falls trail is still closed. Does anyone know if it's open/will be open in July? Headed to the area 7/8-7/13.

Look for opening info when available for Devils' Postpile or Reds Meadow
From NPS: The road to the Reds Meadow Valley and Devils Postpile National Monument remains closed due to deep snow. There is no estimated opening date for the 2017 season. This page will be updated when a tentative opening date is determined.
