Day 2: Crystal Lake hike.
We visited this beautiful waterfall above Twin Lakes before beginning our hike.
The hike had superb views around every switchback.
Action shot. Daniel's dad used to come up to the Mammoth Lakes area multiple times a year during his childhood, so he knew all kinds of great things to do.
Piles of iced-over snowdrifts still lay in the shadows in July.
Gorgeous little wildflowers stuck their heads up along the way.
We could get only knee-deep in the Crystal Lake waters. It was quite toe-numbing.
Mammoth Mountain is volcanic, so you can find pumice everywhere. Litmus test: It floats!
I was the Camelbak carrier.
My signature pose, of course.
We found a delightful snowy overhang frozen mid-fall.
And we went butt-sledding.
The way down was just as beautiful.
