Mammoth Trip 2022

Our trip to Mammoth this year was a blast as we were accompanied by Ray's parents, sister, Emily, and her two boys, Atticus and Harper.  Our first night together, we went bowling then got ice cream at Rite-Aid.  

The next day we had fun traveling to Yosemite National Park to see the sites.  While we were in the park, we took a hike to see the giant red wood trees in Tuolumne Grove and even spotted a bear having a snack in the distance.  Hope was a trooper.  She hiked the whole time laughing and having fun with her family.  

For this trip, we rented electric peddle assist bikes and rode all over Mammoth.  The e-bikes sure made peddling up the hills a lot easier. After the bike ride, we grabbed some sandwiches from Nik N Willies and enjoyed a picnic at Shady Rest Park.  

For our last full day of fun, we took the bus down the mountain to hike to Devils Postpile and Rainbow Falls.  Hope amazed me.  She practically ran the 3.25 miles to Rainbow Falls and had such fun with her cousins despite the significant age difference between them. On the way back, she rode in the hiking carrier and sang songs from Encanto and Frozen.  

We had a great time.  We are sad that soon the condo will be sold to a new family, but anticipate that this was not our last trip to our favorite mountain playground.
