Subject: RE: Vacation around Lake Tahoe/Mammoth need a swim Both? They are several hours apart...... Assuming you are going to be in the Mammoth area, June Lake - a bit north of Mammoth Lakes - has a nice beach for some OW swimming. There is also a lap pool at the intersection of US395 and Benton Crossing, just south of Mammoth, at the "Green Church" A great ride from Mammoth Lakes is down 214 to 395 south, turn left on Benton Crossing road (where the pool is), that's a nice road with a good climb. We did, I think, 30-35 out and back. Another nice climb is Minaret Road all the way up past the ski area to Minaret Summit. Short ride, but a straight climb from about 7K to about 9500 feet. I didn't do it, but I am told the ride up to Lake Mary and around the basin is nice as well. |
