Deven and I just got back last night from a week-long vacation in Mammoth!!! We had such a great time. We drove up last Sunday and pulled into the Mammoth Mountain Inn at around 2am; Monday morning we set up camp at Old Shady Rest campground, where we would spend the next 4 nights. We did a lot of relaxing, sleeping, dual sport riding, hiking and some fishing too. Check out the pics!
The drive up at night…
Gettin’ camp all set up. The weather was so warm!
“Hi, I’m adorable.”
Here’s our first dual-sport ride around the local mountains… a great view of the town below.
Our matching KTM bikes… and some action shots.
He kills it.
Happy hour.
Topped off a fun day with a relaxing soak in this natural hot spring… so awesome at 105 degrees! And no, you can’t keep our dog out of the water.
The moon rising.
The next day we conquered the trail to Laurel Lakes- about 10 miles round trip on the bikes. As you can see, it was a little technical. The views were amazing.
Check out this awesome terrain!
A little picnic lunch.
The MOST amazing tasting fresh water you’ve ever had!
Off for a little hike (climb, in my opinion- it was straight up!).
We hiked this to the base of the snow drift to check out some abandoned mines at the top. You could really feel the elevation!
The view of Laurel Lake (where our bikes are parked).
Being silly.
The proof!
The next day we visited Devil’s Postpile- what an incredible creation.
Did another ride to a lookout point- you could see forever in every direction! This was at about 9,000 feet.
So beautiful!
That’s Mammoth Mountain on the right side of the shot.
Did some hiking and fishing in the San Joaquin river!
My water dog… loved the freezing temps.
Deven fly-fishing… not too many fish in this here river.
Just like her daddy!
It was so much colder on our last day- down at Minaret Falls in the valley.
Here’s the truck all packed up and ready to head home! We had such a great time. It was so nice to be on a week-long vacation. Can’t wait to do Colorado next year!
