MAMMOTH // Some East Side time


With a few days off for Independence Day, a road trip was in order. It's been a while since I've been to Mammoth/Bishop and an open invite from my friends Kip and Lindsey made the decision to pack up and head out that much easier. The plan was to drive through Tuolomne and stop for a quick bouldering session or run, but a late start had us driving straight through. The plan was simple... boulder or trail run, or both, every day. And we did just that. Snowboarding could have been added to the mix, too, since it was Mammoth's closing weekend for the season. The thought of sliding on snow was pretty attractive when it was 90+ degrees in Bishop. But, you can only do so much in a long weekend and we were pretty stoked as it was. Next time.
