I'm planning a trip to Yosemite-Mammoth Lakes in June, and will probably be in Mammoth Lakes in late June. At the moment, I've planned to do a very long day hike to Thousand Island Lake, but I'm not sure of that is possible, so could anyone give me an estimation of the time needed to hike there? Or would Garnet Lake be a better choice? Lastly, how much snow will be around that elevation in late June? Thanks.
Hey I will be going to gARNET LAKE ON FRIDAY JUNE 30TH HAVE MY WILDERNESS PERMIT AND READY TO GO WITH A FEW FRIENDS..iT WILL BE MY FIRST TIME AND HAVE DONE ALOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS TRIP AND GARNET LAKE IS AROUND 4 HRS FROM THE TRAILHEAD.sHADOW LAKE TAKES AN EASY HOUR TO GET TOO THEN ANOTHER 2.5 HRS TO EDIZA LAKE.iTS 4.6 MILES TO GARNET LAKE FROM SHADOW LAKE IF YOUR TAKING THE JOHN MUIR TRAIL.hERS AN EXCELLENT MAP THAT TOOK ME LOTS OF SEARCHING TO COME ACROSS HOPE IT HELPS.yOU CAN ALSO TAKE THE RIVER TRAIL STRAIGHT TO GARNET BUT THIS YEAR WE GOT ALOT OF SNOW LIKE TWICE THE NORM SO IT MIGHT BE TO SLIPPERY AND SNOWY TO TAKE THE RIVER TRAIL UNTIL LATE JULY THERE WILL BE SNOW THERE.

I think Thousand Lakes is about 7.5 miles one way, which would make for a long but doable dayhike. There may be more info on this website: www.highsierratopix.com. Also, check out mammothweather.com for the latest snow reports.
We're headed to Mosquito Flats area next weekend. I hear there is a good amount of snow above the 10000 foot level, but I'm not sure about the area you're visiting. Can't wait to hear about the hikes though. Will be back in Mammoth Lakes in August. Have a great trip!
The weather is fantastic. It gets lots of snow, but warms up during the day and you get plenty of sunshine as well. We were caught in a snowstorm right before Christmas and had to walk in a raging Blizzard to get food. Pulled it back to the Condo on a sled!
For my first snowboarding experience ever, I started on lift 7. I spent all day here mainly getting the feeling of snowboarding.
There were a lot of instructors on the hill, I mainly used them as a tool to learn by watching what they were doing and teaching, I didn't actually hire an instructor. boots, board, and warm clothes.
Buy lift tickets at the lodge: Beginners for $25--all day
Mono Pass is the Continental Divide of sorts. It leads from Ruby Lake in the usually rather deserted Little Lakes Valley into Touloumne Meadows in ever crowded Yosemite National Park. Mono Pass is actually a gap between the Sierras. Its supposed to be a short (ha!) 1,000 foot elevation gain. I'm not sure if its short or simple as we never took it, but it did seem more appealing than the endless rockpiles we had to cross to reach our destinations.
This place is ALWAYS super crowded so expect at least a 30 mins. wait, if not more. Roberto's isn't very big and everyone is kind of crammed in here. But, it's good food at great prices and just a fun place to eat! :) Awesome Mexican food and margaritas! :)
By continuing along the Mammoth Crest trail for about 5 1/2 miles from the trailhead at Lake George, you will come down into a very pretty, wide open valley that encloses several lakes, known as the Deer Lakes. The views down into the Fish Creek Valley and on down the San Joaquin are far-reaching.
Mammoth Pass, at slightly over 9200 feet, is the lowest pass in a large region of the Sierra. As a result, more snow gets directed into this area and as a result, the Mammoth Ski area.
You can continue the hike from the lakes up a boot path at the end of the last lake and connect with the trail coming up Mammoth Creek at Duck Pass overlooking the grand Duck Lake.

Q: Weather in may "I was just wondering how's the weather like in May. Is it possible to sky? Tks."
A: "Normally to ski in May would not be a problem. I know they ski most years into June and even July. However, this year we have had no snow and I don't see any coming any..."
