Mammoth Lakes, CA
Camping with the Maino Family is one of our favorite things to do. The kids play so well together and the adults do too! Haha!
We camped for three nights at Tuff Campground, just south of Mammoth Lakes.
The kids at Lake Sabrina
The first day we went to Mammoth Ski Area for the kids to zipline and rock climb. Two years ago, Ella and Olivia ziplined at this exact location; this year Ella, Olivia, Miles, and Maxton all zip lined! All of the kids were so brave! I’m sure in a couple more years, Mason will join in on the fun! From there, the kids did the climbing wall, which wasn’t as much of a success; there was a bit more frustration and tears here.
We then drove to June Lake, a beautiful alpine lake; unfortunately a storm was rolling in just as we were getting settled in so we didn’t spend much time there.
Back at the campsite each night, we enjoyed s’mores and drinks by the campfire.
The next day, while the Mainos were packing up to leave, the kids took turns riding our newly purchased quad. Our campsite was perfectly located next to the ATV trails with easy access. They had so much fun riding over the days we were there.
Before the Mainos traveled back to Las Vegas, we drove to Lake Sabrina for a hike along the ridge of this alpine lake. The views were gorgeous, but unfortunately those afternoon storms are consistent in the mountains, so we ended our hike early.
Despite our friends being gone, we enjoyed a lunch at a local brewery in Bishop and we were grateful to enjoy one more night away from the Vegas heat.
