Mammoth 2025
Mammoth Trip, 2025
September 26
Mammoth Mountain
12 km and 828 m elevation gain in 5:35 total time.
Not wanting to rise at 4 a.m. and knowing how slow my hiking has become, we quickly dispensed with Bill's ambition to climb Vagabond Peak. Instead he suggested Mammoth Mountain, which was right there. He drew up elaborate plans for using public transport (the bike shuttle and the gondola) to make a circuit of it, but on the morning while checking the forecast I discovered that all this infrastructure was closed for the season.
Meaning - we'd drive to Horseshoe Lake once again, and hike up from there, as an out-and-back. -F
