Day 7: Trolley ride to Twin Lakes.

After our lengthy hike the day before, we decided to spend our last full day in Mammoth at a leisurely pace.



Daniel and I said goodbye to his parents at the town shopping center and hopped on a trolley.



For whatever reason, we love trolleys. Monterey, Balboa Park, Mammoth—if it's free, we'll ride it.



Mammoth's trolley system is surprisingly convenient. We were able to ride from town out to nature and back to our condo quite easily.



Maybe it's the way the light filters in on a trolley that is the appeal for me. And the fact that Daniel is a captive subject for my camera assault: "Here, look thoughtfully out the window." Hah.



We decided Twin Lakes would be our destination. Daniel found dandelions.



We walked along the lake and admired the waterfall (the same one that we visited on day 2, but below this time).



The water was clear and green and blue and we would have spent more time there among the dragonflies and sunshine, but the mosquitoes were too much even for seasoned hikers like us.



We waited by the trolley stop in more beautifully filtered light.



And then we came back and did our favorite evening routine. How did people ever vacation without WiFi? Oh, and we didn't mean to match; it just kind of happened. Definitely not the first time.
